IC84352: DB2 ABEND ON DROP TABLESPACE COMMAND

DB2 Version 10.1 Fix Pack 1 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows
DB2 Version 10.1 Fix Pack 2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• DB2 will abend if a DROP TABLESPACE command is issued after the
  SMS table space file SQLTAG.NAM has been renamed. The error
  message below is the symptom of the crash:
  
  $ db2 drop tablespace SYSTOOLSTMPSPACE
  DB21034E  The command was processed as an SQL statement because
  it was not a valid Command Line Processor command.  During SQL
  processing it returned:
  SQL1224N  The database manager is not able to accept new
  requests, has terminated all requests in progress, or has
  terminated the specified request because of an error or a forced
  interrupt.  SQLSTATE=55032
  
  The trap file generated during the abend will contain a stack
  trace similar to the one below:
  
  sqlbAdjustPathsForReleasedContainers
  sqlbSMSFreePoolContainers
  sqlbSMSDropPool
  sqlbDropPoolAct
  
  The root cause of the problem is the renaming of the SQLTAG.NAM
  file. Note that it is not allowed to manipulate database control
  files manually. The database should be considered inconsistent
  in this case as at least one table space is damaged.
  

Local fix

• Rename the SQLTAG.NAM file back, or perform a table space level
  restore if this file cannot be recovered otherwise.
