Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: All Db2 AI for z/OS (Db2ZAI) 1.6.2 users.    *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: This APAR addresses the problems        *
    *                      described in the problem summary.       *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply corrective PTF when available          *
    ****************************************************************
    This APAR addresses the following reported problems
    for Db2ZAI 1.6.2.
    
    System Assessment (SA):
    - The Liberty address space stops without an explicit stop
    command when Spark terminates the JVM unexpectedly upon
    failing to verify the Spark executor heartbeat.
    - A scheduled weekly system assessment incorrectly triggers
    daily system assessments.
    
    Distributed Connection Control (DCC):
    - DCC client information plots display incomplete data when
    the selected time range exceeds one hour. Data points beyond
    the one-hour mark are missing, resulting in unreliable
    visualizations for extended time periods.
    
    SQL Optimization (SQLOPT):
    - The explore function might fail when required data is not
    fully available during certain time intervals.
    
    Db2ZAI Administration:
    - The Db2ZAI table cleanup process might fail and be
    unable to recover as a result of an error occurring during
    internal data processing.
    

Problem conclusion

  • This APAR resolves the problems described above.
    
    This APAR also includes the following enhancements
    for Db2ZAI 1.6.2.
    
    SQL Optimization (SQLOPT):
    - The exploration summary on the SQL statement details page
    highlights the recommended access path for better visibility.
    - The SQL statement details page adds QUERYNO values for
    static statements.
    - The SQL optimization dashboard loads faster.
    
    Db2ZAI installation & Configuration:
    - The config.sh script optionally supports connecting to
    the metadata Db2 using a user ID and password,
    in addition to the existing PassTicket method.
    (Example: ./config.sh -a migrate -u <user> -p <password>)
    - The blockmanager port and blockmanager retry ports for Spark
    processes are assigned to explicit port values rather than
    random ports.
