IMPROVE PARSING ROBUSTNESS FOR OPTIMIZER GUIDELINES | |
product: | |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2 | |
Problem description: | |
Customers that are using optimizer guidelines - to force a specific query plan - sometimes have observed performance issue that are caused by a sub optimal access plan. The problem typically occurs intermittently and can be fixed by "re-optimizing" the query. A closer investigation will reveal that the DB2 optimizer might fail to correctly apply the optimizer guideline with an SQL437W RC=13. The best way to verify that you have encountered this APAR is to get an "explain from section" of the compiled query and to verify the access plan if the desired optimizer guideline was applied or not. This issue is caused by an incorrect parsing of the XML tag that is used for optimizer guideline. With this APAR we will correct these problems. | |

Local Fix: | |
Submit the query again and ensure it get recompiled/reoptimized so that a new section will end up in the package cache. One method to accomplish this would be the "FLUSH PACKAGE CACHE DYNAMIC ..." statement. | |
