CDC event log messages related to continuous incremental updates

Product Documentation


Abstract

The following text explains event log messages that might be reported by IBM InfoSphere Data Replication for z/OS 10.2.1 (CDC) when continuous incremental updates are enabled. It also contains recommendations on how to respond to these messages.

Content

These messages can occur if CDC propagates incremental updates to an accelerator. The messages as such are documented in the CDC collection of the IBM Knowledge Center. However, you will not find appropriate responses there because on its own, the CDC product is not concerned with accelerator issues.

The following table summarizes all 30 messages and suggests appropriate responses or interpretations.

EventMessageInterpretation / solution
CHC0748ICHC0748I Table name in subscription subscription has been set to the EXTERNAL REFRESH state by subscription subscriptionThe accelerator-shadow table with the name name is currently being loaded or reloaded.

See the IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator: User's Guide for a description of the states that an accelerator-shadow table goes through during a load operation if continuous incremental updates are enabled.

No action required.
CHC0749ICHC0749I Table name in subscription subscription has been set to the SPILLING state by subscription subscription
CHC0750ICHC0750I Table name in subscription subscription has been set to the DRAINING state by subscription subscription
CHC0950WCHC0950W Signal signaltime could not be retrieved. The signal will be ignored.An operation on a table that is enabled for incremental updates failed. For example, a reload might have ended unfinished.
  1. Check the table states by running the SYSPROC.ACCEL_GET_TABLES_INFO stored procedure or by opening the proper Accelerator view in IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator Studio.
  2. Take appropriate action if tables are in an unexpected state, for example, re-enable incremental updates or reload the accelerator-shadow tables.
CHC0951ECHC0951E Signal signaltime contains an unrecognized signal type typeContact IBM support.
CHC0952ECHC0952E Signal signaltime contains an unrecognized signal subtype subtype
CHC0953ECHC0953E Signal signaltime contains an unrecognized new table state state
CHC0954ECHC0954E Signal signaltime contains an incorrect number of parameters. number parameters were expected
CHC0955ECHC0955E Signal signaltime parameter parameter is invalid
CHC0956ECHC0956E Signal signaltime reports a missing end-of-quote character from the parameter value
CHC0957ECHC0957E Signal signaltime contains invalid data after parameter parameter
CHC0958ECHC0958E Signal signaltime specifies a table named name which is not part of subscription subscriptionAn operation on the name table has been skipped because the same operation failed before.
  1. Check the table state by running the SYSPROC.ACCEL_GET_TABLES_INFO stored procedure or by opening the proper Accelerator view in IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator Studio.
  2. Take appropriate action if the table is in an unexpected state, for example, re-enable incremental updates or reload the accelerator-shadow table.
CHC0959ESignal signaltime cannot be processed. Table name is in an incorrect state.
CHC0960WCHC0960W Table name has encountered an error during an external refresh; The table will be set to idleThe accelerator-shadow table name was loading or reloading when incremental updates were stopped. Therefore, the table has been suspended from the incremental update process.
  1. Check the table state by running the SYSPROC.ACCEL_GET_TABLES_INFO stored procedure or by opening the proper Accelerator view in IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator Studio.
  2. Take appropriate action if the table is in an unexpected state, for example, re-enable incremental updates or reload the accelerator-shadow table.
CHC0961ECHC0961E Signal signaltime specifies a table named name which does not existAn operation on the name table could not be completed because the table was not found. This happens, for example, if a table has been removed from DB2 despite pending incremental updates for that table.

Check whether the table was removed from DB2.

If not, repeat the following steps on the accelerator. That is:
  1. Re-define the accelerator-shadow table.
  2. Enable incremental updates for that table.
  3. Load the accelerator-shadow table.
CHC0962ECHC0962E Signal signaltime cannot be processed since a new screen table cannot be createdThis message indicates that an incremental update operation on a table failed due to an internal error.
  1. Check the table states by running the SYSPROC.ACCEL_GET_TABLES_INFO stored procedure or by opening the proper Accelerator view in IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator Studio.
  2. Take appropriate action if tables are in an unexpected state, for example, re-enable incremental updates or reload the accelerator-shadow tables.
  3. If these actions fail repeatedly, call IBM support.
CHC0963WCHC0963W IFI Filtering is no longer in use for this subscriptionDuring the enablement of a table for incremental updates, IFI filtering stopped working. A possible consequence is that the CPU utilization increases significantly.
  1. Stop incremental updates for the DB2 subsystem.
  2. Restart the function.
The warning should not resurface and IFI filtering should work again.
CHC0964ECHC0964E Signal signaltime cannot be processed. Table name is already processing a signalContact IBM support.
CHC0965ECHC0965E Signal signaltime failed. The target failed to process the signalAn incremental update operation on a table failed.
  1. Check the table states by running the SYSPROC.ACCEL_GET_TABLES_INFO stored procedure or by opening the proper Accelerator view in IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator Studio.
  2. Take appropriate action if tables are in an unexpected state, for example, re-enable incremental updates or reload the accelerator-shadow tables. If these actions fail repeatedly, call IBM support.
CHC0966ECHC0966E Signal signaltime failed. Table name cannot be found in subscription subscriptionAn incremental update operation on a table was omitted, presumably because a previous incremental update operation failed.
  1. Check the table state by running the SYSPROC.ACCEL_GET_TABLES_INFO stored procedure or by opening the proper Accelerator view in IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator Studio.
  2. Take appropriate action if the table is in an unexpected state, for example, re-enable incremental updates or reload the accelerator-shadow table.
CHC0967E CHC0967E Signal signaltime failed. Table name cannot be dropped from subscription subscriptionIncremental updates could not be disabled for a table.
  1. Check the table state by running the SYSPROC.ACCEL_GET_TABLES_INFO stored procedure or by opening the proper Accelerator view in IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator Studio.
  2. If the accelerator-shadow table is in an unexpected state, retry to disable incremental updates.
  3. Retry several times if you do not succeed right away.
If that does not work, follow these steps:
  1. From the Accelerator view, stop incremental updates for the entire DB2 subsystem.
  2. Retry to disable incremental updates for the table.
  3. Restart incremental updates for the DB2 subsystem.
CHC0968ECHC0968E Signal signaltime failed. Table name cannot be added to subscription subscriptionIncremental updates could not be enabled for a particular table.
  1. Check the table state by running the SYSPROC.ACCEL_GET_TABLES_INFO stored procedure or by opening the proper Accelerator view in IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator Studio.
  2. If the accelerator-shadow table is in an unexpected state, check the replication event log for clues to the cause of the problem.
  3. If the log gives you clues, use these to solve the problems. Otherwise, proceed with the next step.
  4. Retry to enable incremental updates for that table.
CHC0969W CHC0969W Signal subtype with input signal has been in state state since timestampThis is a hint that unused CDC metadata will be deleted soon.

No action required.
CHC0970I CHC0970I Table name has been added to subscription subscription by signal signaltimeThis message confirms the successful enablement of incremental updates for a particular table.

No action required.
CHC0971ICHC0971I Table name has been dropped from subscription subscription by signal signaltimeThis message confirms the successful disablement of incremental updates for a particular table.

No action required.
CHC0972I CHC0972I External load abandoned for table name due to initiation of a new external loadThis message reports that incremental update processing for a table has been ended prematurely because a load or reload of the accelerator-shadow table has been requested. This is the expected behavior, not a malfunctioning.

No action required.
CHC0973WCHC0973W Subscription is presently stalled due to being in state state waiting for a response from remote partnerThis message reports that incremental update processing has been paused for all tables in a particular DB2 subsystem because the workload on the accelerator is too high.

If this message is just temporary or does not occur repeatedly, no action is required.

If the message occurs repeatedly over a longer period of time:
  1. Check the workload (number of incremental updates) on your accelerator.
  2. Make sure that the workload does not exceed the capacity of your accelerator.
  3. Make sure to use distribution and organizing keys on the accelerator-shadow tables that receive most of the incremental updates.
CHC1434WCHC1434W Table name is not configured in subscription subscription. Requested operation will be ignoredIf this message is reported repeatedly, contact IBM support. If it is a one-time incident, it can be ignored.
CHC9640W CHC9640W Signalled request subtype has been cancelled by ending of subscription subscriptionAn incremental update operation was in progress when the entire incremental update process was stopped. Hence the operation has been aborted.
  1. Check the table states by running the SYSPROC.ACCEL_GET_TABLES_INFO stored procedure or by opening the proper Accelerator view in IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator Studio.
  2. Take appropriate action if tables are in an unexpected state, for example, re-enable incremental updates or reload the accelerator-shadow tables.
CHC9641W CHC9641W Table name in subscription subscription has been set to IDLE due to signalled request subtype being cancelled by ending of subscriptionAn incremental update operation was in progress for a particular table when the entire incremental update process was stopped. Hence the table has been suspended from the process.
  1. Check the table states by running the SYSPROC.ACCEL_GET_TABLES_INFO stored procedure or by opening the proper Accelerator view in IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator Studio.
  2. Take appropriate action if tables are in an unexpected state, for example, re-enable incremental updates or reload the accelerator-shadow tables.
