IT26394: DB2 TAKES Z LOCK WHEN ATTACHING PARTITION TO TABLE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Command such as
  ALTER TABLE MYSCHEMA.TESTTABLE ATTACH PARTITION
  STARTING('2018-01-25') ENDING('2018-01-25') FROM
  MYSCHEMA.TESTTABLE1
  
  May result in.
  DB21034E The command was processed as an SQL statement because
  it was not a
  valid Command Line Processor command. During SQL processing it
  returned:
  SQL0911N The current transaction has been rolled back because of
  a deadlock
  or timeout. Reason code "68". SQLSTATE=40001
  
  This may due to a z lock that should not be acquired during the
  process. This can happen when a table has columns with default
  values that is being attached to the partition table with
  different default values. This triggers an ALTER TABLE under the
  covers that acquires the z-lock and conflicts with the lock held
  by the attach partition.
