MON_FORMAT_LOCK_NAME table function - Format the internal lock name and return details

The MON_FORMAT_LOCK_NAME table function formats the internal lock name and returns details regarding the lock in a row-based format.

Each returned row consists of a key-value pair relevant for that particular lock.

To get information about locks, use the MON_FORMAT_LOCK_NAME, MON_GET_LOCKS, and, MON_GET_APPL_LOCKWAIT table functions instead of the SNAPLOCKWAIT administrative view and SNAP_GET_LOCKWAIT table function, and the SNAPLOCK administrative view and SNAP_GET_LOCK table function, which are deprecated in Fixpack 1 of Version 9.7.

Examples

The internal lock name is returned in a variety of situations, such as being written to the db2diag log files, or as the value of the lock_name monitor element. The following example shows how to use the MON_FORMAT_LOCK_NAME table function to find out further information about the lock, in this case with a lock name of 0000000E00000000000B00C152.
SELECT SUBSTR(NAME,1,20) AS NAME,
       SUBSTR(VALUE,1,50) AS VALUE
       FROM
       TABLE( MON_FORMAT_LOCK_NAME('0000000E00000000000B00C152')) as LOCK
The following output is returned:
NAME                 VALUE
-------------------- -------------
LOCK_OBJECT_TYPE     ROW
ROWID                0
DATA_PARTITION_ID    49408
PAGEID               184549376
