DB2 - Problem description

Problem IT09810 Status: Closed

SAPTOOLS.EXEC_CLP() ROUTINE MIGHT LEAVE A DEFUNCT PROCESS BEHIND

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A50 - DB2
Problem description:
The 'SAPTOOLS.EXEC_CLP()' routine might leave a defunct process 
behind after it is invoked. 
 
The parent of the defunct process will be a 'db2fmp' process. 
The reason is that the routine does not 'wait' for the child 
process to complete before leaving. 
 
A simple 'ps -edf' command would show the defunct processes with 
the ppid as the db2fmp process. 
 
The 'db2pd -fmpexechistory' command can display the routineid 
for the parent db2fmp process.  Querying the SYSCAT.ROUTINES 
system catalog table for that routineid will show if that db2fmp 
process was executing SAPTOOLS.EXEC_CLP.

Local Fix:
The db2fmpterm utility can be used to terminate the parent 
db2fmp process which will then terminate the defunct processes.
Solution
First fixed in DB2 Version 10.5, Fix pack 7
