Fixing an "SQL0964C Transaction log for database is full" error

Troubleshooting


Problem

The DB2 Transaction log (logfilsiz) value of the database will need to be increased if you encounter a transaction log full message, SQL0964C in the db2cli.log.

Symptom

SQL0964C error shows up under two conditions.
a. During data load using an ldif file which contains large entries, e.g.: entries with blob attributes or group entries with lots of members.
b. During the normal ldap server functionality with ldapadd working with large entries

The db2cli.log shows the following:

SQL0964C  The transaction log for the database is full. SQLSTATE=57011
