DB2 should support auto de-activation of (monitoring) connections

Numerous application environments rely on DB2 mechanism of de-activating the database when the last connection terminated.

E.g. stopping the application server leads to termination of the DB2 connections, which in turn automatically de-activates the database.

If a monitoring tool is used like IBM Data Server Manager, dsmtop etc. which connect (via JDBC) leaves the database active, because these 'monitoring' connections still exists. This in turn may avoid a planned offline backup.

Additionally a 'monitoring' connection should not activate a non-active database, the connection should be rejected and the database should not be activated.

DB2 should support something like a connection property 'Auto Terminate' and react as described above. Monitoring tools will then be able to set the connection property.
