DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC80403 Status: Closed

DB2 INSTANCE CRASH WHEN UPDATE, DELETE, OR INSERT STATEMENT ACTIVATES A
RECURSIVE CALL-IN-TRIGGER

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
This problem may occur when all of the following circumstances 
apply: 
 
- Your database defines a trigger that calls an SQL procedure. 
- The SQL procedure called by the trigger contains an UPDATE, 
DELETE, or INSERT statement to which the same trigger applies. 
- The SQL procedure has been previously invalidated; for 
example, due to an ALTER TABLE statement that modified the 
definition of a table on which the SQL procedure depends. 
- The AUTO_REVAL configuration parameter for the database is 
DISABLED. 
 
Your DB2 instance may then terminate abnormally with error 
SQL1224N, if you execute an UPDATE, DELETE, or INSERT statement 
that activates the trigger. 
 
Here's a sample of the db2diag.log entries i.e.

If a DB2 trace is taken, it will show a massive number of calls 
in sqlnn_regen_function(). 
 
For example, 
 
% grep -i sqlnn_regen_function trace.flw | grep -i entry |wc -l 
     244 
% grep -i sqlrlDescendInvalidHiearchy trace.flw |wc -l 
     251 
 
where sqlnn_regen_function calls sqlrlDescendInvalidHiearchy, 
and it calls sqlnn_regen_function over and over again. 
 
Note: the trap file generated by the crash will be zero byte in 
size.
