  • I = Implicit commit or rollback operation due to activation group end, job end, or system end.

If the LUW was finished after a system end, this is set to I, even if an explicit commit or rollback operation was running at the time the system ended.

223 LUW end status Char (1) Indication of when this LUW ended with respect to the job that created the commitment definition for which this LUW took place:
  • N = The LUW ended while the job was running normally.
  • E = The LUW ended during job end. This means that the LUW was still pending when a request was made to end the job. If the requested operation is CM, then a commit request had started before the request to end the job and was finished during the job-end phase.
  • I = The LUW ended during the IPL following a system end. If the requested operation is CM, then a commit request was started before the system end and was finished during the IPL.
  • P = The LUW ended after the IPL following a system end. In this case, the requested operation is CM and the LUW was prepared pending the commit/rollback decision from the initiator or last agent when the system ended. During the IPL, local resources were brought back to a prepared state in a system database server job. After resynchronization was performed to learn the commit/rollback decision, the LUW ended by committing or rolling back the local resources in that same system database server job.
224 Sync-point role Char (1) The sync-point role played by this location during a commit operation:
  • I = Initiator: the root of the sync-point tree.
  • C = Cascaded initiator: an intermediate location in the sync-point tree.

  • L = Last agent: a prepare request was not sent to this location during the prepare wave. Instead, a request was made to this location during the committed wave to attempt a full commit operation before reporting results back to its initiator.
  • blank = This LUW ended in a rollback request
226 LUW disposition Char (2) The overall disposition of the LUW:
  • RO = This location and all downstream locations voted read-only. These resources were not committed or rolled back because they were not changed during the LUW. It is not known whether the other locations in the sync-point tree committed or rolled back.
  • CM = All resources committed. No errors have been detected to this point. If the Resync In Progress indicator field is N, the LUW has completely committed. Otherwise, resynchronization is still going on to assure this location that other locations committed completely.
  • CF = An attempt was made to commit all resources, but one or more errors have occurred. The job log, QHST, and QSYSOPR *MSGQ can be checked to determine the errors.
  • RB = All resources rolled back successfully.
  • RF = An attempt was made to roll back all resources, but one or more errors have occurred. The job log, QHST, and QSYSOPR *MSGQ can be checked to determine the errors.
  • HD = Heuristic damage has occurred. This means one of two things:
  1. Some of the resources at this location or downstream locations committed while others rolled back because an operator performed a heuristic commit operation or rollback operation.
  2. An unexpected error occurred while committing or rolling back resources at this location or downstream locations due to a hardware or software problem.

When heuristic damage occurs, the following LUW journal entry records can be checked to learn the status of the changes made during the LUW to individual resources:

  • LCL = The Record I/O State field indicates the status of the record I/O performed on files journaled to the journal related to that location.
  • API = The API State field indicates the status of that API Commitment resource.
  • DDL = The DDL State field indicates the status of that SQL Object Change.
  • RMT = The Resource State field indicates the status of the resources at the remote location.
228 Heuristic operation indicator Char (1) Whether a heuristic commit or rollback operation occurred at this location while a commit request was being performed for this LUW:
  • blank = No heuristic operation occurred.
  • C = A heuristic commit operation occurred.
  • R = A heuristic rollback operation occurred.

A heuristic commit operation or rollback operation means that the operator took explicit action (while this location was waiting for the commit or rollback decision from the initiator or the last agent) to commit or to roll back the resources at this location and all prepared downstream locations. Heuristic operations can result in some resources committing while others roll back. The LUW Disposition field can be checked to see if this has happened (it would be HD). The Resync In Progress indicator field can also be checked. If it is O, heuristic damage might have occurred or it might still occur because the state of the resources at the locations where resynchronization is still going on is unknown. Messages are written to the history log and to the system database server job logs when the resynchronization processes complete to indicate whether damage occurred. If damage occurs, messages are also sent to the system operator when it is detected.

229 Resync in progress indicator Char (1) Whether resync to one or more remote locations was still ongoing when the LUW ended:
  • N = Either no resynchronization was required during this LUW, or it was required and completed before the LUW ended.
  • O = Resynchronization was going on with one or more of the locations. This can occur only if the WAIT_FOR_OUTCOME synchronization point option is NO, or if the LUW was interrupted by job or system end.

  • N = Do not wait for outcome.
  • U = Do not wait for outcome during commits initiated by this commitment definition or during commits initiated at a system that does not support presumed abort. Inherit the initiator's wait for outcome value during commits initiated at a system that supports presumed abort.
231 Action if problems Char (1) The value of the Action if problems commitment option. This indicates whether to commit or rollback when problems occur during a two-phase commit.
  • R = Rollback if problems occur.
  • C = Commit if problems occur.
232 Vote read-only permitted Char (1) The value of the Vote read-only permitted commitment option. This indicates whether this commitment definition is allowed to return a read-only vote to a remote initiator during a two-phase commit.
  • N = Do not allow a read-only vote.
  • Y = Allow a read-only vote.
233 Action if ENDJOB Char (1) The value of the Action if ENDJOB commitment option. This indicates the action to take for changes associated with the LUW when the job the LUW is a part of is ended.
  • W = Wait to allow normal processing of the LUW to complete.
  • R = Rollback during ENDJOB.
  • C = Commit during ENDJOB.
234 OK to leave out Char (1) The value of the OK to leave out commitment option. This indicates whether this location is allowed to be left out during the next commit/rollback if no activity occurred to this location during the LUW.
  • N = Do not leave this location out of the next commit or rollback operation.
  • Y = It is OK to leave this location out of the next commit or rollback operation.
235 Last agent permitted Char (1) The value of the Last agent permitted commitment option. This indicates whether last agent optimization may be used.
  • S = The system is allowed to select a last agent.
  • N = The system is not allowed to select a last agent.
236 Accept vote reliable Char (1) The value of the Accept vote reliable commitment option. This indicates whether the vote reliable indicator received from agents during a commit operation is accepted by this location. If an agent votes reliable, and this location accepts it, control is returned to the application before the committed wave is completed for that agent. If this location does not accept vote reliable, control is returned to the application only after the LUW is completely committed or rolled back.
  • Y = Accept the vote reliable indicator from agents during commit operations.
  • N = Do not accept the vote reliable indicator from agents during commit operations.
237 Resolved wait for outcome value Char (1) This indicates the actual wait for outcome value that was used during the commit or rollback of this LUW. If the Wait for outcome commitment option is L or U, this value might have been inherited from this location's initiator.
  • Y = Wait for outcome of resynchronization.
  • N = Do not wait for outcome of resynchronization.
238 XA transaction manager Char (10) If this was an X/Open transaction, this is the name of the XA Transaction Manager that was specified on the db2xa_open API. This field will be hex zeros if this was not an XA transaction.
248 XID Char (140) If this was an X/Open Transaction, this is the X/Open Transaction Identifier associated with this transaction. This field will be hex zeros if this was not an X/Open transaction, or if it was an X/Open local transaction. The format of this field is as follows:
