Problem IC58990 | Status: Closed |
ONPARAMS HANGS IF DYNAMIC_LOGS SET TO 0 AND WHEN TRYING TO ADD A LOGICAL LOG WHILE WAITING FOR NEXT LOG TO BE FREED | |
product: | |
IBM IDS ENTRP E / 5724L2304 / B15 - IDS 11.50 | |
Problem description: | |
Consider LTXHWM and LTXEHWM are configured such that a rollback of a long transaction is exhausting the logical log space. If DYNAMIC_LOGS is set to 0 and the instance is in a blocked state waiting for the next logical log to be freed, onparams cannot be used to add a logical log. If such an attempt is made, for example by: onparams -a -d logspace -i it will simply hang. | |
Problem Summary: | |
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * All users on 10.00 * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * If the user has turned off the Dynamic Log File feature in * * IDS, then its possible that onparams may not be able to add * * a new logical log to the server if the entire logical log * * space in the server is consumed. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * * Upgrade to 10.00.xC11 * **************************************************************** | |
Local Fix: | |
In this situation you need to restart the instance after having set DYNAMIC_LOGS parameter in the onconfig file to 1 or 2. | |
Solution | |
Problem has been fixed in 10.00.xC11. onparams recognizes this condition and will let the user know what needs to be done. | |
