DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC90716 Status: Closed

IN SOME RARE CIRCUMSTANCES THE PD_GET_DIAG_HIST() TABLE FUNCTION MAY HANG.

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A10 - DB2
Problem description:
In some rare circumstances the PD_GET_DIAG_HIST() table function 
may become stuck looping without making any progress giving the 
outward 
appearance of a hang. This can leave sessions that cannot be 
forced from the DBMS. 
 
Operating system tools like top will show db2sysc process 
consuming up to 100% CPU. 
Using 'db2pd -edus' will reveal a single thread/EDU consuming 
most/all CPU time within the db2sysc process. 
 
A db2trc of this EDU will show it is looping in the following 
two functions: 
 
 pdDiagGetNextRecordFromBuffer 
 pdDiagReadFromFileIntoBufferBS

Local Fix:
Truncate the current db2diag.log file by executing '> 
db2diag.log'. This will break the loop and result in SQL1042C 
being returned by the EDU.
