Re: Some lines of data missing when inserting into DB2

Hi kanasai167

getting the number of rows in a able is a simple SQL statement:
select count(*) from <schemaname>.<tabname>

Rows can get rejected if there is a unique contraint on the table or something similar.

Contact your DBA for further details

Hi Brad, yes it is new and it comes with DB2 (at no extra cost). There are many possibilities mpnitoring locks - in the current and past versions but look for the newest (and often best) one - search for create event monitor for locking write to unformatted table.... db2pd might be an alternative - ...

Hi bcarlson, the DB2 error shown -911 with Reason Code 68 clearly states that you experienced a lock timeout. So this is NOT a deadlock true but the table you are loading seems to be lock by some other activity. Talk to your DBAs once again and tell them to check who is locking the object you are lo...

Re: Improving performance of DB2 insert

Hi Gazelle some thoughs from my side: DB2 Load is the right way to go on if the number of rows is that big. You have the option to specify a message file - use it and double check it after the load - you will find all relevant DB2 messages there and maybe a hint to the real problem causing the error...

Hi cherry

check the message file of the DB2 LOAD utility.
The message file is one of the options you should (always) use
with DB2 data movement utilities in order to get some more details about what went wrong.

Your DBA can assist you as well in any LOAD related problems.

regards
Michael

Hi . You need either the patch or Fix Pack 1 to get the new XML functionality. You can get either from IBM Fix Central. What Ray wrote is the original intention but we have tried using the new stage and it works in a parallel job but not in a server job. We found following note: https://www-304.ibm....

Thanks Michael. Let's agree on what is local and what is remote. We installed Datastage engines with DB2 repository (in one server A) and this is the local DB2 instance. Is it correct ? Then we have another server (B) where we run another DB2 instance to store the data tables. This is the remote DB...

Re: DB2 Connector Remote instance

Hi le thuong

in the DS 8.5 connector stage you can specify an instance name
make sure that - if specified - it is the DB2 instance name of the client
instance - the one where your DataStage server resides.

In my eyes they should have named it client instance - but who asks me :-)

I hope this helps
