Problem description: | |
This involves loads using file_transfer_cmd causing db2vend process to become defunct as follows: 1. We don't wait for completion of userexit in db2vend (we don't call wait nor waitpid after fork and exec in sqloexecs). 2. Neither set its SA_NOCLDWAIT flag nor set SIGCHLD to SIG_IGN as the result of resetting SIGCHLD to default with FILE TRANSFER COMMAND option in db2load utility. | |
