Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All Db2 12 for z/OS and Db2 13 for z/OS * * users of data sharing. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: ABEND04E RC00C20225 DSNB5SC2 * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply corrective PTF when available * **************************************************************** Db2 provided exploitation of the asynchronous cross-invalidation (XI) feature to improve elapsed time performance by sending XI asynchronously when writing updated pages. With asynchronous XI, Db2 must drive a sync-up call to determine when asynchronous XI associated with cache requests have completed. If a group buffer pool (GBP) rebuild occurs before the sync-up call, there is no need to wait for the sync-up call to finish. It may cause an ABEND04E RC00C20225 in DSNB5SC2 diagnostic dump when a reason code for an invalid asynchronous XI sequence number is returned on a write to GBP request. If the GBP has been rebuilt, the asynchronous XI sequence numbers become invalid and all members of the data-sharing group that have pages cached in their buffer pools should have been notified that the pages have been invalidated. Therefore Db2 does not necessarily need to take above diagnostic dump.
Problem conclusion
Db2 code has been changed to not take the diagnostic dump mentioned above if a GBP rebuild happened before the sync-up call for asynchronous XI.
