PH23674: IBM DB2 ANALYTICS ACCELERATOR ON IBM Z (MAINT. LEVEL 7.5.0 OR 7.5.0.1): RESTART FAILS THREE MONTHS AFTER INITIAL INSTALLATION

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• After a restart of the Accelerator component (for example,
  triggered by reset, update, or reactivation of the LPAR),  the
  "Accelerator component health status" reports that "Appliance
  data service" fails to start and the Accelerator is not able to
  process requests anymore.
  

Local fix

• The issue happens because of an active try&buy license for Db2
  Wh which expires three months after initial installation of the
  database.
  Re-install or "reset with wipe" enables the license for another
  three month (but data would be lost and reload required).
  In a remote maintenance session IDAA support can apply a correct
  (permanent) license file, especially for a system which is
  currently in failed state.
  IDAA 7.5.0.2 will contain a correct license file. We strongly
  recommend to upgrade to this maintenance level once available.
  

Problem summary

• The try & buy license for Db2 Wh included in maintenance level
  7.5.0 and 7.5.0.1 has been replaced with a regular license not
  expiring.
  

Problem conclusion

• The issue has been fixed with maintenance level 7.5.0.2.
  

Temporary fix
