PM97209: ABENDS0C4 OFFSET=000016D8 WHEN RUNNING QUIESCE FOR LOG APPLY WITH HUNDREDS OR MORE TABLESPACES

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• An ABEND S0C4 may occur when executing the QUIESCE utility
  requested in the LOG-APPLY COPY command. The number of
  tablespace may be hundreds or more. Fewer tablespaces and the
  ABEND does not occur.
  
  The new UTILITY-COMMAND-EXECUTE-PERCENT SET command allows users
  to specify that all spaces eligible for a particular DB2 utility
  not be executed with a single call to that utility. For example,
  if there are 500 tablespace eligible for QUIESE, all 500 are
  submitted in the same utility call. With the
  UTILITY-COMMAND-EXECUTE-PERCENT command, a percent of the total
  datasets or objects from 1 to 50 can be submitted with a single
  utility call. For example if
  UTILITY-COMMAND-EXECUTE-PERCENT(20), then five QUIESCE calls
  would be submitted with 100 tablespaces each. The default is one
  utility call for all eligible spaces. Currently only the QUIESCE
  command submitted for log apply is using the new command.
  

Local fix

• Use the JOB-TEMPLATE command to create a set of QUIESCE commands
  and execute them after the source job has completed.
