DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC78533 Status: Closed

Small memory leak in database heap in pureScale environment when performing
DDL or bufferpool/tablespace monitoring

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 980 - DB2
Problem description:
In a pureScale environment, a small amount of memory is leaked 
in the database heap when performing DDL and potentially during 
tablespace/bufferpool monitoring. 
 
Symptoms are typical of a slow memory leak. Eventually system 
memory may become overcommitted causing paging and performance 
degradation. 
 
"db2pd -db <db> -memb 2" 
will show growing memory allocations as follows (note high 
TotalCount): 
 
Memory blocks sorted by size for dbh pool: 
PoolID     PoolName   TotalSize(Bytes)     TotalCount LOC   File 
...
