DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC63769 Status: Closed

INSTANCE CRASH DUE TO STACK OVERFLOW WITH FUNCTION
SQLNG_PROCESS_BF_NODE OR SQLNG_PROCESS_PARSE_TREE_NODE

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2
Problem description:
During SQL compilation, a query being compiled may cause the DB2 
instance to crash due to a stack overflow exception. However, 
the new behaviour in DB2 Version 9.5 should ideally cause the 
DB2 agent to return an sqlcode SQL0973N upon detecting such a 
scenario. 
 
The stack trace from such an abend will look like:

Local Fix:
In DB2 Version 9.5, users have the ability to control the size 
of the runtime stack used by a DB2 agent. 
Consequently,increasing the value for the "agent_stack_sz" 
database configuration parameter will help workaround the 
issue.
