DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC75312 Status: Closed

REDEFINING TEMP SMS TABLESPACE TO USE AUTOMATIC STORAGE WILL NOT SUCCEED
UNTIL SECOND CONNECT

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
A) When doing a redirected restore if we redefine a TEMP SMS 
tablespace to use Automatic storage, the first connection will 
bring the tablespace offline if the old directory is not 
available. The tablespace will only be redefined to use 
automatic storage on the second connect to the database. 
 
To reproduce: 
 
1. database sample (db2sampl) 
 
 
 
2. db2 "create user temporary tablespace test_tbsp managed by 
 
system using  ('/tmp/tbsp_cont')" 
 
3. db2 "backup database sample to /tmp/BK" 
 
 
4. db2 restore database sample from /tmp/BK redirect generate 
 
script red.out 
 
5. 
 
The script contains the following: 
 
-- 
**************************************************************** 
************* 
-- ** Tablespace name                            = TEST_TBSP 
-- **   Tablespace ID                            = 7 
-- **   Tablespace Type                          = System 
managed space 
-- **   Tablespace Content Type                  = User 
Temporary data 
-- **   Tablespace Page size (bytes)             = 8192 
-- **   Tablespace Extent size (pages)           = 32 
-- **   Using automatic storage                  = No 
-- **   Total number of pages                    = 1 
-- 
**************************************************************** 
************* 
SET TABLESPACE CONTAINERS FOR 7 
-- IGNORE ROLLFORWARD CONTAINER OPERATIONS 
USING ( 
  PATH   '/tmp/tbsp_cont' 
); 
 
 
 
Changed it to 
SET TABLESPACE CONTAINERS FOR 7 using Automatic storage; 
 
6. 
When the restore script is run we get 
 
$ db2 "set tablespace containers for 7 using automatic storage" 
DB20000I  The SET TABLESPACE CONTAINERS command completed 
successfully. 
 
 
When we run the restore we do not fail, even if the path 
/tmp/tbsp_cont does not exist in the system. 
If the path /tmp/tbsp_cont exists in the system, then we will 
get the tablespace ok but if the path does not exist then we 
will get this tablespace offline when connecting to the database 
for the first time after the restore: 
 
db2 connect to sample 
 
EDUID   : 6006                 EDUNAME: db2agent (SAMPLE) 
FUNCTION: DB2 UDB, buffer pool services,

MESSAGE : ADM6081W  The table space "TEST_TBSP" (ID "7") is in 
the OFFLINE 
          state and is not accessible. The table space state is 
0x"00004000". 
          Refer to the documentation for SQLCODE -293.

Tablespace ID                        = 7 
 Name                                 = TEST_TBSP 
 Type                                 = System managed space 
 Contents                             = User Temporary data 
 State                                = 0x4000 
   Detailed explanation: 
     Offline 
 
We need to terminate the connection to the database and connect 
back to get the Automatic path defined for this tablespace 
 
B) When migrating a database using a restore operation, 
redefining SMS temp space to use Automatic Storage, if the old 
path for the SMS temp space is not available the migration will 
fail with 
 
After step 6) above (having redefined the containers): 
 
RESTORE DATABASE SAMPLE FROM '/home/mariaj/TEMP/BK' TAKEN AT 
20110328074610 INTO SAMPLE REDIRECT WITHOUT ROLLING FORWARD 
SQL0902C  A system error (reason code = "") occurred. 
Subsequent SQL 
statements cannot be processed.  SQLSTATE=58005 
 
Upgrade database command will also fail with : 
 
$ db2 upgrade database sample 
SQL0902C  A system error (reason code = "") occurred. 
Subsequent SQL 
statements cannot be processed.  SQLSTATE=58005 
 
The migration will only work if we have the old TEMP SMS path 
with its original SQLTAG.NAM file available in the system. 
 
Once the upgrade has finished the TEMP SMS will be redefined as 
Automatic Storage on the first connection. 
 
It is important to note that if we are restoring into an already 
existing database to proceed with the upgrade, then the error 
-902 is expected behaviour: 
 
In order to be able to restore into an existing database, we 
must initiate an implicit connection to the existing database 
first. This is well before the restore can take place. 
If the existing database is from an older release, the first 
connect will initiate an automatic database upgrade. 
 
The database upgrade cannot proceed if one of the tablespace 
containers is misssing, so the -902 is expected. The workaround 
is to drop the existing database and initiate a fresh restore. 
In this case, the implicit connect will not be needed.
