Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * Db2 for z/OS users with CICS transactions * * in a data sharing environment * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * Upon a resource unavailable condition * * (an SQLCODE -904) for an SQL request * * from a CICS transaction, Db2 invokes * * z/OS Workload Balance Manager to route * * the subsequent work to another data * * sharing member. * * Such routing is unnecessary and can * * cause flooding of works to other * * members in the data sharing group. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * * Apply corrective PTF when available * **************************************************************** When an SQL request from a CICS connection results in a resource unavailable condition (an SQLCODE -904), Db2 also invokes a WLM service to route further work to other members in the data sharing group. Such routing may not be necessary since there is no guarantee the unavailable condition will be resolved when the SQL request is run on another member. On the other hand, that routing may cause flooding of work to other members and result in group-wide failure.
Problem conclusion
Db2 has been changed to no longer route CICS works to another data sharing member on a resource unavailable condition on an SQL request. Additional keywords: SQLCODE904 DB2DSHR
