IT28326: DB2CKBKP -E MAY RESULT IN A TRAP IF THE USER INPUT A NON-EXISTING OBJECT TYPE IN EXTRACTPAGE.IN

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The db2ckbkp tool may crash when issued with option -e to
  extract pages from backup or load copy image.
  
  The db2ckbkp has following syntax that one can use to extract
  pages from backup or load image:
  
  db2ckbkp -e BACKUP_IMAGE extractPage.in
  
  The extractPage.in file allows user to specify input for
  db2ckbkp tool.
  
  For example following line allows user to extract 1 page 8136927
  from table space 4 from load copy image (D).
  The value of 12 indicates data type. This 12 means that the page
  is normal data or index page,
  not LOB for which we need to use 14 or LONG for which we need to
  specify 15
  
  D 12 4 8136927 1
  
  If one specifies wrong, non existing value for data type then
  db2ckbkp may crash and produce the core file.
