APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Tivoli Storage Productivity Center 5.2.x users monitoring large
  environments may encounter DB2 transaction log full errors if
  small values for the DB2 parameters LOGFILSIZ, LOGPRIMARY,
  LOGSECOND, LOGBUFSZ are used, particularly when performance
  monitors are scheduled to run every minute.
  
  The problem can surface in Tivoli Storage Productivity Center in
  a variety of ways.  It may be a failed upgrade, a failed action
  (e.g. deleting a storage system), a failed probe, or a variety
  of other issues.  Investigation into the Tivoli Storage
  Productivity Center and DB2 logs provides confirmation of this
  condition.
  
  The Tivoli Storage Productivity Center logs will display the SQL
  errors:
   SQLCODE=-964, SQLSTATE=57011
  The db2diag log file will show:
        "Log File has reached its saturation point"
        DIA8309C Log file was full.

Problem conclusion

• Users experiencing this should upgrade to Tivoli Storage
  Productivity Center 5.2.7 or higher or modify the values for the
  following DB2 parameters:
  LOGFILSIZ, LOGPRIMARY, LOGSECOND, LOGBUFSZ
  
  Steps to check and modify the DB2 parameters:
  1.  Open a DB2 command window:
  2.  Run the following command to verify that the current values
  of the mentioned DB2 parameters are lower than the ones
  indicated at step 3.
  db2 get db cfg for tpcdb > tpcdb_cfg_current.txt
  3.  Open file tpcdb_cfg_current.txt and search for LOGFILSIZ,
  LOGPRIMARY, LOGSECOND, LOGBUFSZ
  4.  If they are smaller than 20000, 100, 150, 512 then run step
  5.
  5.  Issue the following commands, one by one in this specific
  order, to increase the DB2 parameters:
  db2 update db cfg for tpcdb using LOGFILSIZ 5000
  db2 update db cfg for tpcdb using LOGSECOND 240
  db2 update db cfg for tpcdb using LOGPRIMARY 16
  db2 update db cfg for tpcdb using LOGBUFSZ 512
  
  The fix for this APAR is targeted for the following maintenance
  package:
  
  | refresh pack | 5.2-TIV-TPC-RP0007 - target August 2015
  
  http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?&uid=swg21320822
  
  The target dates for future refresh packs do not represent a
  formal commitment by IBM. The dates are subject to change
  without notice.
  Note: You must ensure there is adequate disk or file system
  space before you modify the LOGFILSIZ, LOGPRIMARY, and LOGSECOND
  parameters. These values will result in approximately 5 GB of
  log file space.
  The values suggested here will be the default values with Tivoli
  Storage Productivity Center 5.2.7
  If the DB2 transaction log full errors continue after increasing
  these parameters as suggested or upgrading to Tivoli Storage
  Productivity Center 5.2.7 or higher, contact IBM Support for
  further investigation.
