Problem IC91740 | Status: Closed |
ADMIN_CMD LOOPS IF MORE THAN 32767 MSG IN SQLLIB/TMP, AND/OR ADMIN_REMOVE_MSGS FAILS WITH SQL20193N RC=10. | |
product: | |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A10 - DB2 | |
Problem description: | |
The ADMIN_CMD manages the message files on server by unique operation ids, and corresponding unique message names. The random_number in operation id (<random_number>_<userid>) would be values in the range of 0-32767 on AIX and Windows system. This lack of variety on the operation id can cause the following issues. a) Infinite loop in admcmdCreateNewMsgFile() Once utility message path (sqllib/tmp by default) is filled by 32767 number of message files, the function keeps looping to look for unique id (but never find). In this case, admin_cmd(EXPORT, IMPORT or LOAD) never returns to caller, and db2fmp consumes high CPU time. b) Duplicate operation id. DB2 intends to use unique operation id, but concurrent execution of the ADMIN_CMD()s can exploit a timing hole to use duplicate operation id. And Subsequent ADMIN_REMOVE_MSGS() will fail with SQL20193N rc=10 due to the duplicate operation id. This defect will fix these issues by using more wide variety of and non-duplicate operation id. | |
