My understand is that ATTLS allows you to encrypt network traffic for 
clients/servers which do not implement TLS themselves.  It sounds like your Db2 
traffic was formerly not encrypted with TLS, but your ATTLS rule now encrypts 
that Db2 traffic without the client or server being any wiser.  Unfortunately 
that rule is also negatively affecting SMP/E and probably any other 
applications that use HTTPS.  SMP/E implements TLS itself, so it doesn't need 
ATTLS to do so on its behalf.

I am absolutely NOT an expert in defining ATTLS rules, but my guess is you need 
to define the rule more specifically to impact only the Db2 traffic and not all 
HTTPS traffic.  Hopefully some kind soul with may more experience in ATTLS can 
offer suggestions, sorry.
