IT29582: DB2DART SHOULD DETECT WHEN A CONTAINER SIZE IS LESS THAN THE SIZE OF THE TOTALPGS+PAGESIZE.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A backup can fail with an SQL0902C when the container for a
  tablespace was truncated and is smaller than the size of the
  Total Pages*PageSize for that tablespace.
  
  The db2dart tool should detect this level of corruption but
  currently does not.
  

Local fix

• Use the "truncate" command to extend the tablespace container.
  
  For example, assume a tablespace has a total of 2000 pages and
  has a PageSize of 8K (8192 bytes)..  2000*8192=16384000
  
  So the command to run would be:
  
  truncate --size=16384000 C0000000.LRG
  
  ... where C0000000.LRG is the container file name for the
  tablespace in question.
