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.
