DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC75868 Status: Closed

DB2 MIGHT ENCOUNTER 'DEADLOCK' ERROR WHEN PERFORMING TWO DROP
TABLE STATEMENTS SIMULTANEOUSLY.

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2
Problem description:
Deadlocks on system catalog may occur when concurrently perform 
two DROP TABLE statements on two different tables with similar 
namings and dependent views defined on them. 
 
To identify the problem, you need to use DB2 event monitor to 
collect detailed information for deadlocks. 
When the deadlock error occurs, in the event monitor output you 
will see the following entries:
