DB2 - Problem description

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.
