Troubleshooting


Problem

Error code 0x9000028C for Generic Control Facility (GCF) is logged in the db2diag.log

Symptom

An error similar to the one below is found in the db2diag.log:

2010-06-17-00.01.42.260255-240 I12757178C260      LEVEL: Error
PID     : 2351188              TID : 1
FUNCTION: DB2 Common, Generic Control Facility, GcfCaller::getState, probe:40
MESSAGE : ECF=0x9000028C Timeout occured while calling a GCF interface function

The actual db2diag.log entry format will vary depending on the DB2 version, but the key tokens are "GcfCaller::getState, probe:40" and the error code 0x9000028C.

This has no apparent impact on the database, and the error is not reported to the front end.
