APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Configuring TPC to have high retention settings will eventually cause tablespace "TPCTBSPPM" (ID "4") of TPCDB to consume its entire capacity, thus becoming full. Customers running into the problem of excessive database growth on tablespace "TPCTBSPPM" (ID "4") will see inhibited TPC functionality, particularly, an inability to retrieve and see performance data in TPC GUI. To diagnose this problem, check whether the db2diag.log contains the following messages: """""""""""""""""" FUNCTION: DB2 UDB, buffer pool services, sqlbAllocateExtent, probe:971 MESSAGE : ADM6044E The DMS table space "TPCTBSPPM" (ID "4") is full. """"""""""""""""""
Local fix
Contact IBM Support for steps to clean up and reattempt the upgrade.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * TPC 5.2.X customers with large amount of SVC volumes and * * high retention settings * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * TPCTBSPPM reaches its regular tablespace limit and this will * * prevent TPC from collecting PM data or and transation which * * inserting data in the database. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * * Apply fix maintenance when available. Prior to applying the * * fix, you can reduce the amount of detailed SVC sample data * * to 7 days and purge the expired data from PM STAR tables. * ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
The sample expiration and purging will be updated. Automatic recovery will occur within 7 days.
