DB2 - Problem description
| Problem IC72449 | Status: Closed |
SYSPROC.ADMIN_REMOVE_MSGS DOES NOT DELETE MESSAGE FILES(GENERATE D BY ADMIN_CMD) WHOSE NAME IS APPENDED WITH UNDERSCORE(_). | |
| product: | |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2 | |
| Problem description: | |
Executing a LOAD operation via ADMIN_CMD and option MESSAGES ON
SERVER creates and leaves a message file on the database server.
This message file is named like
'LOAD_<STRING>_<USERID-postfix>'.
SYSPROC.ADMIN_REMOVE_MSGS should be used to remove these message
files if no longer needed.
In certain situations DB2 will name the message file like
following: 'LOAD_<STRING>_'
E.g. if the user id information is not available at the time of
the DB2 internal message file rename.
The attempt to remove a message file whose name ends with
underscore will not be successful although ADMIN_REMOVE_MESSAGES
reports successful execution as shown below.
# ls
LOAD_N8BYSB_
# db2 "CALL SYSPROC.ADMIN_REMOVE_MSGS('31393')"
Return Status = 0
# ls
LOAD_N8BYSB_
This APAR addresses the correct removal of such message files. | |
