Error description

  • System: Linux dbsm0000 6 2 s390x
    
    Number of nodes in db2nodes.cfg is: 1
          0 dbsm0000 0
    
    
    The issue is, as noted above, that the application runs a delete
    job on
    a table called MDL.JSF_JS_INST_FORECAST. The application appears
    to hang
    on this delete job.
    
    
    We verified that we can optimize the TWS code in order to
    perform
    the delete forecast operation.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • This apar is applicable only to TWS 8.6 FP1 release that
    introduced the feature to remove the zombie forecast instances
    during the startup.
    When a forecast plan is created a temporary preproduction plan
    is generated and it is removed when the forecast is completed.
    If during the creation of the forecast, the customer kill the
    eWAS, some zombie forecast instances remain in the preproduction
    tables of the forecast.
    The eWAS startup clean these tables but using
    a single transaction. This apar implements the mechanism to
    delete the zombie forecast instabces during the startup of
    the eWAS with a block mechanismt.
    

Problem conclusion

  • This apar will be fixed into 8.6.0-TIV-TWS-FP0002.
    

Temporary fix

  • Run the following command:
    delete * from MDL.JSF_JS_INST_FORECAST
