DSNJ017E csect-name WARNING - OFFLOAD TASK HAS BEEN ACTIVE SINCE date-time AND MAY HAVE STALLED.
Explanation
While switching active log data sets, Db2 found that the offload task has been active since the last time Db2 switched active log data sets. The offload task began archiving an active log data set at date-time. If active log switching is occurring rather frequently, repetitive DSNJ017E warnings might be suppressed.
System action
Db2 continues processing. If statistics class 3 is active, IFCID 0335 is written. This message will be deleted when the offload task completes the archive process.
This message is non-scrollable. It remains highlighted on the console until you take the appropriate action.
System programmer response
This may be an indication that there may be an outstanding tape mount request or that the offload task may no longer be functioning. This situation can result in a log-full situation if Db2 can not archive log data sets when they fill. You should reply to any tape mount requests and monitor offload activity very closely. You can issue the -DISPLAY LOG command to display the status of the offload task, and the -ARCHIVE LOG CANCEL OFFLOAD command can be used to terminate and restart the offload process.
Prior to terminating the offload task, obtain a dump of the Db2 MSTR address space for problem determination.
