Db2 Version 11.1 Mod 4 Fix Pack 6 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows
Db2 Version 11.1 Mod 4 Fix Pack 6 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If the system is in a highly stressed situation and db2_all is
  executed in parallel in the background, standard outputs for
  some nodes might be missing.
  When db2_all is executed in parallel in the background, db2_all
  checks the PID of each background process, but some background
  processes could finish before the PID existence checking.
  In this case, db2_all would not print the command outputs of
  such background processes from the buffer files to the standard
  output.
  

Local fix

• Check the buffer file stored on each node instead of standard
  output of db2_all
