DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC66999 Status: Closed

MEMORY LEAK IN MON_GET_LOCKS, MON_GET_APPL_LOCKWAIT TABLE FUNCTIONS
and MON_LOCKWAITS admin view

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
A memory leak of 6496 bytes per lock occurs as a result of 
calling the MON_GET_LOCKS or MON_GET_APPL_LOCKWAIT 
table functions or querying the MON_LOCKWAITS admin view. 
The leak is from the private memory heap. 
 
'db2mtrk -p -v' will show the leak 
 
Before calling MON_GET_LOCKS: 
 
Memory for agent 16 
 
   Other Memory is of size 20250624 bytes 
   Total: 20250624 bytes 
 
After calling MON_GET_LOCKS to return info on 1006 locks: 
 
Memory for agent 16 
 
   Other Memory is of size 26869760 bytes 
   Total: 26869760 bytes
