title: WebSphere JDBC Connection Pool advice
body: <p>I am having a hard time understanding what is happening in our WebSphere 7 on AIX environment.  We have a JDBC Datasource that has a connection pool with a Min/Max of 1/10.  </p>
  
  <p>We are running a Performance Test with HP LoadRunner and when our test finishes we gather the data for the JDBC connection pool.  </p>
  
  <p>The Max Pool sizes shows as 10, the Avg pool size shows as 9, the Percent Used is 12%.  With just this info would you make any changes or keep things the same?  The pool size is growing from 1 to 9 during our test but it says its only 12% used overall.  The final question is everytime our test is in the last 15 min before stopping we see an Avg Wait time of 1.8 seconds and avg thread wait of .5 but the percent used is still 10%. FYI, the last 15 min of our test does not add additional users or load its steady.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone provide any clarity or recommendations on if we should make any changes?  thx!</p>
