Problem description: | |
Sometimes you will find below errors in db2diag.log related to log file retrieving while an online backup (with default action to include logs) is in progress. At this time, a message stating backup was successful will also be returned to your prompt : yyyy-mm-dd-20.12.10.452784+120 xxxxxxx LEVEL: Error PID : 26738736 TID : 16194 PROC : db2sysc 0 INSTANCE: <instance name> NODE : 000 EDUID : 16194 EDUNAME: db2logmgr (database_name) 0 FUNCTION: DB2 UDB, data protection services, sqlpgRetrieveLogVendor, probe:2516 DATA #1 : String, 107 bytes The actual log file size did not match the expected file size, retrying retrieve.

After the backup, these log files which received the "file sharing violation" errors, may be left in the active log path for indefinte time until a database recycle is done or they are deleted manually. Analysis : This issue occurs due to multipe retrieval requests. As you can see below, the first time a log file retrival is completed successfully, but when DB2 tries to retrieve the logs for the second time it fails : yyyy-mm-dd-20.12.03.517684+120 XXXXXX LEVEL: Warning PID : 26738736 TID : 16194 PROC : db2sysc 0 INSTANCE: <instance name> NODE : 000 EDUID : 16194 EDUNAME: db2logmgr (database_name) 0 FUNCTION: DB2 UDB, data protection services, sqlpgRetrieveLogFile, probe:4130 MESSAGE : Started retrieve for log file S0005801.LOG. yyyy-mm-dd-20.12.06.084698+120 XXXXXX LEVEL: Warning PID : 26738736 TID : 16194 PROC : db2sysc 0 INSTANCE: <instance name> NODE : 000 EDUID : 16194 EDUNAME: db2logmgr (database name) 0 FUNCTION: DB2 UDB, data protection services, sqlpgRetrieveLogFile, probe:4148 MESSAGE : Completed retrieve for log file S0005801.LOG on chain 0 to /db2/cmdb2ibb/NODE0000/SQL00001/SQLOGDIR/.

File: DATA #2 : String, 53 bytes /db2/cmdb2ibb/NODE0000/SQL00001/SQLOGDIR/S0005801.SA1 The problem is the multiple requests for logs retrieval that have already been included in the backup image. Same is the cause behind the file sharing violation which then leads to already archived logs being left behind in the active log path as they are not deleted due to the violation. The fix will remove these extra retrieve requests. | |
