DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC72450 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 / 980 - 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.
