db2pe.client.v5.3.1.0.8523.win32.zip

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• PE Client does not specify a specific destination when
  starting a trace
  

Local fix

• the DB2 command panel can be used to manually activate and
  deactivate IFCID 318.
  From PE Client  System Overview select Execute DB2 Commands
  (C:>). As command input enter
  START TRACE(MON) CLASS(1) IFCID(318) DEST(SMF)
  Send the command string and save the assigned trace number from
  the DB2 command response window.
  The DB2 command window can be left open during the lifetime of
  the PE Client session.

  * USERS AFFECTED: Performance Expert Workstation Client Users. *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: PE Client does not specify a specific   *
  *                      destination when starting a trace.      *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  The PE Client does not specify a specific destination when
  Starting a DB2 Trace from the dynamic and static statement cache
  panels.
  On DB2 11 and later subsystems the missing destination clause in
  the START TRACE command causes the DB2 trace collection to stop
  immediately after the command execution from the PE Client code,
  since DB2 flags the trace as an -orphaned- trace in case the
  destination is not specified.
  

Problem conclusion

• The PE Client code has been changed to include DEST(SMF) in the
  START TRACE command issued thru the DB2 IFI interface.
  The following START TRACE is executed from the PE Client for
  starting dynamic and static statement cache trace collection:
  Dynamic statement cache metric collection:
     START TRACE(MON) CLASS(1) IFCID(318) DEST(SMF)
  Static statement cache metric collection:
     START TRACE(MON) CLASS(1) IFCID(400) DEST(SMF)
