  1. Rollup Multiplatform 8.4.1.4 fixpack
  
  2. In the case where the spawn of arspdump failed, a file
     pointer remained uninitialized.  This caused a later attempt
     to close the file to fail with a S0C4.
  
  3. The default REQLIMIT when REQLIMIT is not specified is
     ARS_EXPIRE_REQLIMIT from the ars.cfg.  If ARS_EXPIRE_REQLIMIT
     is not specified in the ars.cfg, a value of 100 is used.
     This causes 100 doc_names to be used in the SQL to query the
     application group data tables.  This caused DB2 to determine
     that a table space scan was the most efficient method to use.
  
  4. ARSDCFTN was treating IMPLIED_HOLD as the name of a hold,
     which caused it to search the ARSHOLD table for a matching
     hold.  This search failed.
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• 1. Rollup Multiplatform 8.4.1.4 fixpack
  
  2. The file pointer will be initialized to NULL before
     performing the spawn.  This will prevent the attempt to close
     the file.
  
  3. The default REQLIMIT is changed from 100 to 20.  Limited
     examination using EXPLAIN shows that the tablespace scan
     occurs when the  number is 32.  However, that value will not
     be universally valid.  The DB2 optimizer uses many factors to
     determine access path selection.  20 was chosen to be
     somewhat conservative.  The higher the number, the more
     docnames OnDemand will put in an individual query for a given
     application group when performing expire processing,
     potentially resulting in fewer overall requests to DB2.
     However too high a value will cause DB2 to use a tablespace
     scan, resulting in degraded performance.  Individual customer
     testing would be needed to determine the optimal REQLIMIT
     value for a given installation.
  
  4. ARSDCFTN is changed to treat IMPLIED_HOLD as a special name
     and not search the ARSHOLD table for it
