DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC69166 Status: Closed

When using Infinite Logging, the only copy of an active log file can be
pruned

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2
Problem description:
db2 prune history and delete deletes first active log. 
 
db2start 
db2 -v " drop db INFLOG" 
db2  -v "create db INFLOG" 
db2 -v " connect to  INFLOG" 
db2 -v " update db cfg for INFLOG using LOGARCHMETH1 
DISK:/home/db2inst1/ARCHLOC" 
db2 -v "terminate" 
db2 -v "backup db INFLOG to /dev/null" 
db2 -v " update db cfg for INFLOG using SOFTMAX 1" 
db2 -v " update db cfg for INFLOG using LOGPRIMARY 2 LOGSECOND 
-1 LOGFILSIZE 4" 
db2 get db cfg for INFLOG |grep -i LOG 
db2 -v "terminate" 
db2 -v "connect to INFLOG" 
db2 -v "create table test1 (I int, v1 varchar(200), v2 
varchar(200), v3 varchar(200))" 
 
db2 connect to INFLOG; db2 +c delete from test1 where i = 2; cd 
; db2 get db cfg for INFLOG |grep -i FIRST;   loop_insert3.pl 
 
Where loop_insert3.pl is a perl script that loads data into a 
table called test1 and causes log files to get generated and 
wait till they get deleted from the active log path and are only 
existing in the archive log path (prove with ls) 
 
 ls /home/db2inst1/db2inst1/NODE0000/SQL00001/SQLOGDIR/ 
and 
 ls /home/db2inst1/ARCHLOC/db2inst1/INFLOG/NODE0000/C0000000 
 
Then from different window 
db2 connect to INFLOG; db2 prune history 20101007 with force 
option and delete 
 
then do the ls to confirm the missing files that are active logs 
and now no longer exist anywhere 
 
ls /home/db2inst1/db2inst1/NODE0000/SQL00001/SQLOGDIR/ 
and 
ls /home/db2inst1/ARCHLOC/db2inst1/INFLOG/NODE0000/C0000000 
 
In cases where infinite logging is used, the active log can be 
archived to the archive path and removed from the active log 
path. 
If a prune is chosen with the delete option and a timestamp more 
recent than the active log is chosen, the active log would be 
deleted making it impossible to rollback the transaction and 
causing a potential database corruption.
