DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC66059 Status: Closed

RUNSTATS GENERATES EXCESSIVE LOCKING IN SYSCOLUMNS AND LOCK TIMEOUTS

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2
Problem description:
Running runstats at the time other DDL modifying statements are 
running will likely encounter lock timeouts or deadlocks. The 
investigation revealed that the lock contention are on object 
that are not related to the RUNSTATS. 
 
Applications running alter, drop or create table will timeout or 
wait until runstats completes giving the impression that they 
are hung. They will be waiting for locks held by the application 
running runstats on another table. 
 
The isolation level used to update columns for runstats is 
Repeatable Read (RR) 
and therefore it will lock rows in SYSCOLUMNS that are not 
related to the table being updated.
