DB2 - Problem description

Problem IT06221 Status: Closed

Q CAPTURE WARM START MIGHT FAIL DUE TO -1273 FROM DB2LOGREAD AFTER RESTORE
AND RFWD, IF YOU DELETE LOGS IN PREVIOUS LOG CHAIN

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A50 - DB2
Problem description:
Q Capture warm start might fail due to db2LogRead API return 
-1273, after a restore and rollforward operation on pureScale, 
even performing Q Capture Cold start, if you delete the logs in 
previous log chain. 
This might happen if the workload is driven on only a subset of 
the members, after the rollforward followed by the cold start of 
QREP. 
Whenever the idle members start logging, a warm QREP scan will 
always require to retrieve logs from the previous chain to avoid 
-1273, but it will cause -1273 if the logs in previous log chain 
are deleted. 
 
The capture log might contain the following messages. 
 
ASN8041D "Q Capture" : "ASN01" : "LogrdThread" : db2LogRead API 
is sending us backwards in the DB2 Log: First LSN is 
"0000:0000:35cb:b965:0000:0001:f4aa:ed74" while Next Start LSN 
is "0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000" 
ASN0552E "Q Capture" : "ASN01" : "logrd" : The program 
encountered an SQL error.  The server name is "SAMPLE".  The SQL 
request is "db2ReadLog".  The table name is "".  The SQLCODE is 
"-1273".  The SQLSTATE is "     " .... 
ASN0005E CAPTURE "ASN01" : "LogrdThread". The Capture program 
encountered an error when reading the DB2 log. The log sequence 
number is "0000:0000:35CB:B965:0000:0001:F4AA:ED74", the SQLCODE 
is "-1273", and the reason code is "". 
ASN7156I "Q Capture" : "ASN01" : "WorkerThread" : The Q Capture 
program stopped processing log records in log file 
"/db2/actlog/NODE0000/LOGSTREAM0004/S0001753.LOG". 
 
The corresponding messages in db2diag.log are like this.

****************************************************************
Local Fix:
Create/update/drop dummy tables on all the members in the 
following scenario, and do the fake workload to ensure all 
logstreams have written log records before the cold start. 
 
1) RESTORE/RFWD 
2) Create/update/drop dummy tables on all the members 
3) Successful QREP Cold start 
4) Successful QREP Warm start 
5) (Move/rename logs in previous log chain, for your safety) 
6) Delete logs in previous chain
Solution
Problem was first fixed in DB2 Version 10.5 Fix Pack 7.
