Deadlock Research Steps: 1.

Get the Deadlock Monitor info:

a. logon as dbdbaam1, dbdbaem1 or adbhmc and flush deadlock in memory: db2 flush event monitor db2detaildeadlock b. then pull the deadlock monitor detail with db2evmon command: AM EM
db2evmon -path /db2/adb/db2adbam/NODE0000/SQL00001/db2event/db2detaildeadlock | grep -p Deadlock db2evmon -path /db2/adb/db2adbem/NODE0000/SQL00001/db2event/db2detaildeadlock | grep -p Deadlock

PHNM

db2evmon -path /db2db/phnm/db2hnm/NODE0000/SQL00001/db2event/db2detaildeadlock | grep -p Deadlock

May want to save deadlock info to a file for easier scrolling by adding > <file> 2. Find the SQL and Table Locks involved.
a. Step 1 will return something like the list below b. Scroll and Look for Timestamps that match -911 rc=2 time. c. Find SQL, Tables and Locks.

3. To find the User / Handle involved:

a. Find the Appl Id from Deadlock info
ex: Appl Id: G991F348.F407.081211073246

b. Go to Application Snapshot Log directory

cd /archive/em/stlp/OPS/snapapps_logs

c. grep <Appl Id value> snapapps_yymmdd*

ex: grep G991F348.F407.081211073246 snapapps_081211* | grep Application ID snapapps_0812110735.log:Application ID = G991F348.F407.081211073246 snapapps_0812110740.log:Application ID snapapps_0812110745.log:Application ID ex: vi snapapps_0812110740.log = G991F348.F407.081211073246 = G991F348.F407.081211073246 (07:44:57)

d. Edit the snapapps_yymmdd file listed for the deadlock time e. Search for the Appl Id value
ex: <esc> /G991F348.F407.081211073246

f. Scroll to see User ID and application used, e.g. QMF
