Confused?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soap_(TV_series)

You (Daniël) should have known by now there are DBA's administering more than one RDBMS.

This is like saying you (Daniël again) spend more time in the DB2 ng than in this one.
As a mather of fact, Serge already answered this same question on c.d.ibm-db2

A bold conclusion, based on just this one incident. And what's a "DB2 so-called DBA"?

Nope, not the same issue. Imagine that.
You probably googled for "ADM7009E"?
Unfortunately that's not sufficient, you also have to take the SQL error code into account.

The link you provided leaves little doubt about the SQL code for which the given solution is applicable:

    SQL1226N --> sqlcode = -1226
which isn't exactly the same as the OP is encountering:

    sqlcode = -1225 --> SQL1225N
"The request failed because an operating system process, thread, or swap space limit was reached".

Of course this can be easily found in the appropriate docs (given the version and paltform are supplied, which the OP failed to do), and/or via a simple Google--search for "SQL1225N" ... ;-)

Cheers.
