DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC84159 Status: Closed

LICENSE CACHE CHECKING CAN CAUSE SLOW DATABASE CONNECTS FROM CLI
APPLICATIONS WHEN MULTIPLE CONCURRENT CLI CONNECTIONS OCCUR

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A10 - DB2
Problem description:
When there are multiple concurrent CLI connections occurring, 
delays may occur in connecting to a database from a CLI 
application.  The delay in the connection could be caused by 
serialization around the ~/sqllib/cfgcache/conlic.bin license 
cache file.  Non-CLI applications are not affected. 
 
A CLI trace would show long connections times in the SQLConnect( 
) function.  Note, not all connection times would necessarily be 
long.  Those that initially acquired the lock on the file would 
complete normally.  Large DPF environments may be more 
susceptible to the problem. 
 
From a db2trc, the long function calls would be around the 
sqloflock function (to lock a file) called from within the 
sqleuPerformServerActivationCheck code path:

Local Fix:
Rename or remove the ~/sqllib/cfgcache/conlic.bin cache file. 
However, the file will be recreated when connections are made to 
remote databases.
