DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2

A tablespace restore followed by a ROLLFORWARD to Point in Time 
may retrieve too many log files if the rollforward command is 
issued in two seperate steps. 
 
The 1. Step: 
 
ROLLFORWARD DB <DBNAME> TO <POINT IN TIME> TABLESPACE 
(<TBSPNAME>, ...) 
 
works like expected and DB2 will request only those log files 
needed for the rollforward, i.e. only the log files that contain 
transactions that apply to the tablespaces being rollfowarded. 
You may see the following in db2diag.log which indicate that log 
files were skipped :

DATA #1 : String, 231 bytes 
Starting with Log file 230985, some records do 
not contain information that apply to the 
tablespace(s) being rolled forward. Rolling 
forward continues with log 231706. 
LSN changed from 158334F8800C

The 2. Step: 
 
ROLLFORWARD DB <DBNAME> COMPLETE TABLESPACE (<TBSPNAME>, ...) 
 
is expected to run very short to just complete the RFWD. Instead 
it goes ahead and retrieves ALL log files since the last backup. 
This can take a very long time and causes additional delay in 
the rollforward recovery. The ROLLFORWARD COMPLETE command 
should not retrieve these logs.
