DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC62926 Status: Closed

MEMORY LEAK CAN OCCUR WHILE RUNNING REORG ON A TABLE WITH A COMPRESSED
XDA OBJECT

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
In DB2 v9.7 a small amount of memory from the database heap may 
be leaked during a REORG.  For the leak to occur, the 
reorganized table must be compressed and must contain at least 
one XML column.  Some of the XML documents must be stored in the 
XML storage object and be compressed. 
 
Symptoms of this memory leak include: 
- Continuous increase of memory usage both inside the DB2 
process and on the system overall 
- Out-of-memory errors reported by the database manager 
- Side effects such as the inability to connect to DB2 databases 
- System memory or paging space exhaustion 
 
This memory is allocated from the database heap, and will be 
reported by DB2 memory monitoring tools (db2pd, db2mtrk, 
snapshot).

Increasing the size of the database heap via the 'dbheap' memory 
configuration parameter may help prevent the symptoms of this 
memory leak.
