    ****************************************************************
    User requested Db2 acceleration for a query that qualified for 2
    or more IBM Db2 Analytics Accelerator V6 for Cloud accelerators,
    and expected accelerator Workload Balancing (WLB).
    However, for each run of the accelerated query, Db2 V11 for z/OS
    always sent the query only to the same V6 Cloud accelerator,
    instead of alternating the target V6 Cloud accelerator based on
    accelerator workload balancing.
                                                                   .
    Db2 did not correctly recognize that multiple V6 Cloud
    accelerators qualified to run the accelerated query.
                                                                   .
    This specific accelerator WLB problem only occurs for
    IBM Db2 Analytics Accelerator V6 for Cloud accelerators (Db2
    Warehouse on Cloud, formerly dashDB for Analytics).
    

Problem conclusion

  • DB2 code to support Accelerator Workload Balancing (WLB) for
    IBM Db2 Analytics Accelerator V6 for Cloud was corrected to
    to apply WLB for a query where multiple V6 for Cloud
    accelerators qualify to run the query.
                                                                   .
