How to Resolve Pending States in DB2

You will find three types of pending states in DB2. These are Copy pending, Release pending and Check pending. Here are the resolutions.

First, we need to identify the pending state and determine the appropriate corrective action. Here are the three pending states and their respective corrective steps:

DB2 Pending States

Check Pending

Reason: When we load data into a table, there may be situations where the process is interrupted because of certain constraints related to the relationships between the data.

Corrective Step: Run REORG utility on the table space, then, run CHECK DATA utility.

Release Pending

Reason: When working with remote connections, the remote connection that is not going to be used will be kept in Release pending state

Corrective Step: Commit/Rollback will close all the Release-pend state connections.
