IT43211: CREATE INDEX ON TEMPORARY TABLE FAILS WITH 517 ERROR WHEN RUN ONSECONDARY SERVER WITH AUTOLOCATE ENABLED

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When attempting to create an index on a temporary table on a
  secondary server that has more than one fragment and when
  AUTOLOCATE is set to a value greater than 0 the operation will
  fail with error 517 "The total size of the index is too large or
  too many parts in index."
  
  Example SQL:
  CREATE TEMP TABLE t1 (col1 integer not null, col2 datetime year
  to second)
  WITH NO LOG
  FRAGMENT BY ROUND ROBIN IN tempdbs1, tempdbs2;
  < insert some rows >
  CREATE INDEX t1_x1 ON t1 (col1, col2);
  

Local fix

• A workaround is to set AUTOLOCATE 0 in the onconfig file or for
  the user session with the statement SET ENVIRONMENT AUTOLOCATE
  '0';
