APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • In some situations, it is possible that unconditional log
    messages may appear in the ADHLOG log when parameter
    STAP_STREAM_EVENTS = N (disable streaming of events to the
    Guardium Appliance). The unconditional log messages may cause
    the ADHLOG to grow large in size filling the spool. This
    situation can result in unpredictable results.
    

Local fix

  • Workaround: Set STAP_STREAM_EVENTS = Y.
