Slow response time when executing db2 load command from command prompt

Troubleshooting


Problem

DB2 LOAD command may take a long time to return from the command prompt even if the data loading is finished

Symptom

From load command line output, the load process completes in a reasonable time, however, after the load process completes, the load command may take a much longer time to return.
