Excessive log usage

Excessive log usage

 

  

Hi,
My DB2 8.1.5 AIX 5.1 database stopped because of a 'transaction log full'
event.
I determined from the db2diag.log that agentid id 980 was holding and so did
a snapshot of that agent before forcing him off. Everything went OK.
I determined from the output of the snapshot that his UOW log usage was 2604
bytes.
If he is only using 2604 bytes how can he fill the transaction logs?
Is there any other way of telling who is using the log space?
Thanks,

Dave
