DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC72485 Status: Closed

Package cache size growing far beyond configured size while "db2pd
-dyn" showing a lot of dynamic variations in X mode

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
Inoperative (X mode) variations could happen when an application 
is executing a variation where S-lock is held. When one of the 
dependent objects of this var has been dropped we put an X lock 
on it to invalidate it and mark it as inoperative to prevent 
further access. At the end of invalidation, the X lock is not 
released as we had a S-lock already in place. This 
medium-duration X lock will prevent the var from being cleaned 
by the cache space management function. This could cause the 
instance to hung in the long run. 
 
One of the main characteristics of this issue will be 'db2pd 
-dyn' showing a lot of X mode vars in the Val column. I.e.
