APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • When a special split of log records was found during the log
    read process and SYSLGRNX was used to eliminate not needed
    logs, the product could process this special record
    incorrectly resulting in ALAA042E message.
    This situation can only occur in DB2 v12. This APAR corrects
    this situation.
    

Local fix

  • Turn off SYSLGRNX processing by adding the 'X' to the MISC flags
    on the Generate Database Activity Report (General) panel or in
    the MODEPARM file.
    This way the split record will be combined correctly and
    skipped as it should be.
