INSTANCE ABEND POSSIBLE DUE TO INCORRECTION EXECUTION SECTION | |

DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2 | |
Problem description: | |
An instance may abend when copying data into a table queue under some very specific access plan conditions. A typical trap file may show the following functions on top in the stacktrace : Stack: ====================== memmove sqlkt_pack_tuple sqlktins sqlritqb2 The problem is due to an incorrect buffer location being accessed. This can only be confirmed by db2 service personnel by examining the "section dump" of the execution plan, which is located in the binary dump file. From an access plan point of view, at least the following conditions need to be true : * There is a star join that has a join of a dimension table (above the IXAND operator ) that references the same columns of the dimension table that were already accessed in the star join (below the IXAND operator ) ( this may also be referred to as a back join ) * The dimension table column that is accessed in the star join is accessed via list prefetching i.e. there is a RID scan operator followed by a fetch operation on the base table. * The index scan in the list prefetch of the dimension table within the star join has a sargable predicate on a column that is used in the back join. | |
