PM43833: ABEND878-10 MEMORY LEAK OCCURING WHEN PROCESSING COMPRESSION DICTIONARIES FROM DB2 LOGS DURING DETAIL REPORT PHASE.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When DB2 Log Analysis Tool read records from utilities using LOG
  YES for compressed tablespaces, memory was not being allocated
  and freed correctly during the detail report phase. If many of
  these records were processed, this memory leakage could result
  in a S878 ABEND. This APAR corrects the behavior by limiting
  the amount of memory acquired and properly freeing the memory
  when finished.
