DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC63977 Status: Closed

IN RARE TIMING SITUATIONS, SORT WITH INTRA_PARALLEL MAY FAIL WITH -901
CREATING TEMPORARY TABLE FOR SORT SPILL.

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
When the INTRA_PARALLEL db cfg parameter is enabled (smp 
parallelism),  an operation requiring Sort infrastructure that 
spills to a temp table may fail with a -901 with a db2diag.log 
entry like this: 
 
FUNCTION: DB2 UDB, sort/list services, sqlsmergerec, probe:2050 
MESSAGE : Creating Temporary Table for sort spill, but one 
already exists. 
          Aborting sort operation. Contact IBM Support. 
slestatus = 874c40, 
          poolID = 5, objectID = 73 
 
This is caused by a rare timing scenario and is unlikely to 
occur.

INTRA_PARALLEL to NO then recycle the instance
