Re: SELECT statement crashes server

86% is bit high for pct.utilized. I had the same problem, and it went
away with adding more space to the tsm db.I am not sure how much
temporary space it requires to complete a fairly large output of an
select statement, but I believe you need more than what you have. I also
believe that its better
To run select statements from the command line rather than from the GUI.

Cheers,

Additionally, our DB and LOG stats are as follows - I believe there is
plenty of DB space for the select to complete;

Subject: SELECT statement crashes server

Hallo *SM'ers

AIX 5.2.0.0
TSM server 5.2.2.3

I have discovered a select command that will crash our server instantly
every time..

Could anyone confirm they get the same behaviour, or that it's just a
quirk of our site.

I originally tried this;

>select volume_name,pct_reclaim from (select * from volumes where
stgpool_name='UKS_NORM_PRIM') where pct_reclaim=>90

But TSM complains about the first '(' being an invalid token... It
shouldn't be.

So, after confirming and doing succesfull sub-selects in other select
commands, I thought it may have something to do with the '>' being the
redirect symbol.  So I wrapped part of the command in double-quotes

When I try this command;

>select "volume_name,pct_reclaim from ( select * from volumes where
stgpool_name='UKS_NORM_PRIM') where pct_reclaim=>90"

The server instantly falls over.....

Can anyone else repeat this? I have tried a couple of very simple select
commands with double quotes around them (none using '>'  as yet) and
only the above select command has made the TSM server fall over so far..
but my testing is far from comprehensive as yet.

Have Fun!

Thanks,


Matt.
