Problem IC64693
|
Status: Geschlossen |
DB2 CLIENT COULD CREATE DEFUNCT PROCESSES IF CLIENT AUTHENTICATION IS USED ON UNIX PLATFORM |
| Produkt: |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2 |
| Problembeschreibung: |
Connecting/attaching from a DB2 v9.5 Client and versions beyond
on Unix, creates defunct db2ckpw processes. The defunct
processes are created by the DB2 client libraries. This is an
application side problem and only occurs when one sets
authentication type to CLIENT. When the authentication occurs on
the client side, DB2 will fork db2ckpw to authenticate the user.
DB2 v9.5 and versions beyond do not install a signal handler for
SIGCHLD and therefore DB2 will not call waitpid for a child
process. However, applications such as DB2 Performance Expert
and Command Line Processor (CLP)have a handler installed for
SIGCHLD. This causes the db2ckpw process to become defunct.
The problem can be reproduced using CLP. All that is needed is
to change the DBM CFG authentication to CLIENT and use CLP to
connect/attach. A defunct db2ckpw process will be created. |
