Summary :
This SAP Note addresses issues related to full transaction logs in DB2 UDB Version 8 or higher, with symptoms appearing in SYSLOG, db2diag.log, or as short dumps. Common errors include SQL0964C and ADM1823E, indicating a full log held by an ongoing transaction. This could be due to a high workload or a transaction preventing log reuse. The solutions detailed involve using DB2 diagnostic tools and SQL commands to diagnose and address these issues. Tools like db2 get snapshot and db2pd, alongside SQL statements, help determine the transaction holding the log and provide a pathway for mitigation through COMMIT, ROLLBACK, or FORCE APPLICATION commands.
