DB2 - Problem description

Problem IT07238 Status: Closed

RESTORING OLDER FIXPACK BACKUP IMAGE TO NEWER VERSION, ON DPF, WITH
REDIRECT GENERATE SCRIPT, MAY HANG OR TRAP

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
- The hung issue would only occur when all of below conditions 
are met: 
 
 
a) The backup images that you are restoring from is taken from a 
lower fixpack level database, for example the backup images were 
taken at FP6, but you  are restoring them to a FP8 instance. 
 
 
b) The catalog partition (0) has been successfully restored 
first. 
 
NOTE: If catalog partition has not been restored, the "restore 
redirect generate" on non-catalog partition would not hang. 
 
c) Generating a redirect restore script on the partition other 
than catalog partition 0. 
 
NOTE: if you do an actual restore , it would not hang. 
 
In another words, it would not hang: 
 
. 
 
                                 if you are restoring from a 
backup image taken at the same pixpack level,  OR 
                                 if catalog partition has NOT 
been restored before running the redirect restore generate 
script on a  non-catalog partition, OR 
                                 if  catalog partition has been 
restored but you are performing a normal redirect restore on the 
non-catalog partition(instead of generating a script), 
 
. 
It is known to hang on AIX and trap on Linux
