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. | |
