Problem IC77527

Status: Closed |
SET WRITE SUSPEND CONSISTENTLY FAILS WITH SQL1550N RC=5 WHEN THE BUFFERPOOL IS STMM ENABLED. |
| product: |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 980 - DB2 |
| Problem description: |
When the bufferpool is being resized by STMM, the SET WRITE
SUSPEND command will need to wait behind the resize operations
until it is finish. Sometimes the resize can take a long time,
and also it is unpredictable when STMM will trigger the resize.
This can therefore pose a difficulty to users who hope to
perform SET WRITE SUSPEND in fixed maintenance window.
.
When this issue happens, the STMM agent is usually in the
waiting state under the following codepath.

| Local Fix: |
Avoid doing SET WRITE SUSPEND when STMM is busy (i.e. change in
workload that causes STMM to need to resize the bufferpool).
.
Turn off STMM momentarily for SET WRITE SUSPEND if STMM is not
already in action. |
