In case anyone wants to know the details of why the 6/16/02 version of fixpack 7 was pulled, here are the details. I was told that db2 list appl was recording duplicate process ids & the instance was crashing. I noticed fixpack7 was pulled 9/4/02 & was told the replacement was back on the ftp site on 9/11/02. Perhaps IBM could save themselves alot of calls by placing a pull out notice on the ftp site, detailing the issues. We are all not perfect, humbly admitting it, opens our minds to other doors of knowledge.

FP7 was withdrawn and replaced 2 days later. That was over a 50 days ago. I know BNY is running the old one anyway anyway. The issue was a parm, Max_Logiagents, did not deefault properly. BNY set it and did not care to move off. Here is the info ========== FixPak 7 has been pulled from the FTP server due to APAR IY33275. We're rebuilding the FixPak for all platforms and we'll have new versions available (I'm told by our service build manager) for download by next Tuesday. We're also publishing a short news article on the DB2 Support site later today (URL in my sig) that describes the situation. Let me know if you need additional information.

This causes problems when forcing applications, for the application handle id cannot be specified. This occurs when concentrator is not enabled and with a workload of more than 100 concurrent direct connections to the database server. Other more severe symptoms occur on EE systems with INTRA_PARALLEL enabled and on all EEE systems. The system may crash due to traps in sqlrintp or sqlra_copy_pkg , or from -901 with message " Lock_needed specified for local var " in the db2diag.log . LOCAL FIX: Set max_logicagents to a specific value (the same as max_coordagents), rather than leave it as default (-1).

Hello Murali, As we discussed before, there FP 7 was pulled due to some important APARs on the server side of the DB2 v7 code. The old FP 7 signature is U482566 (7.1.0.65) and the new FP 7 is U484485 (7.1.0.68). Hence, your client machine is indeed at FP 7.
