Error description

  • Select commands return incorrect results after upgrade to Tivoli
    Storage Manager Server v6.3.5 or v7.1.1 after a  "DEFINE
    CURSOR" command is used.
    
    For example:
    tsm: TSM11>SELECT VOLUME_NAME FROM libvolumes WHERE
    status='Scratch'
    
    VOLUME_NAME
    ----------------------------------------------------------------
    --
    GRO028L4
    GRO124L4
    GRO209L4
    
    tsm: TSM11>SELECT COUNT(*) FROM libvolumes WHERE
    status='Scratch'
    
      Unnamed[1]
    ------------
               3
    
    
    At the same time, the command  "query  libvolume" on the same
    server
    returns a different result.
    
    TSM11> query libvolume
    
    TS3500LIB    GRO032L4    Private                     Data
    1,035   LTO
    TS3500LIB    GRO124L4    Private                     Data
    1,036   LTO
    TS3500LIB    GRO006L4    Scratch
    1,037   LTO
    TS3500LIB    GRO210L4    Private                     Data
    1,038   LTO
    TS3500LIB    GRO041L4    Scratch
    1,039   LTO
    TS3500LIB    GRO314L4    Private
    1,040   LTO
    
    
    
    The correct output is in "query libvolume" command.
    
    
    
    Customer/L2 Diagnostics:
    
    The problem has been introduced by  APAR IC96223 and occurs when
    the command "define cursor" is used for select statements.
    For example the following command will cause to have an
    incorrect output for any subsequent  select statement:
    
    DEFINE CURSOR C87b12e4 SQL='SELECT * FROM NODES'
    
    Other tables involved may be VOLUMES and EVENTS.
    
    Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected: All Tivoli Storage
    Manager Server 6.3.5.x and 7.1.1.x   on all Platforms.
    
    | MDVREGR 6.3.5.0-TIV_5698ISMSV |
    | MDVREGR 7.1.1.0-TIV_5698ISMSV |
    
    
    Initial Impact: low
    
    Additional Keywords: define cursor sql select incorrect db2
    IC96223
    

Local fix

  • Do not use "define cursor" command with select statements

Problem conclusion

  • This problem was fixed.
    
    The tables used on the DEFINE CURSOR command will now continue
    to update, but only after either the session using the cursor
    terminates or if the DELETE CURSOR command is used.  If you are
    running an application that is using the DEFINE CURSOR command
    make sure it is deleting the cursors using the DELETE CURSOR
    command, or terminating the session with the Tivoli Storage
    Manager server as soon as it is done with the cursors.  On
    session termination the Tivoli Storage Manager server will
    perform the deletion of the defined cursors.
    
    The following tables are known to be affected by this issue:
    
    ADMIN_SCHEDULES, ADMINS, CLIENT_SCHEDULES, DBSPACE, DB,
    DEVCLASSES, DRIVES, EVENTS, LIBRARIES, LIBVOLUMES, SQL_LICENSES,
    MEDIA, OPTIONS, SCRIPTS, SERVER_GROUP_VIEW, SESSIONS, STGPOOLS,
    VOLUMES, STATUS, AUDITOCC, CLIENTOPTS, MGMTCLASSES, DOMAINSVIEW,
    RESTORES, PROCESSES, DRMEDIA, PATHS, CLOPTSETS, DRMSRPF,
    DRMTRPF, DRMSTANZA, SAN, SHREDSTATUS, SCRIPT_NAMES, LOG, and
    TSM_MON_SETTINGS.
    
    Affected platforms:  AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, Linux, and Windows.
