DBG02178E ... PARMLIB READER FAILED WITH RC 215 (DEC)
 
Half an hour later the CA SYSVIEW for DB2 Data Collector was restarted manually without  any problem.
What was the the meaning of RC 215?. Was a required system component missed?. 

Environment

Release:
Component: IDB2

Resolution

+215 - CA90s is NOT available, license checking cannot be performed.

The RC 215 was caused by the Common Services licensing process not being active at the time of SYSVIEW for DB2 Data Collector startup, thus causing the LMP licensing check to fail. You will need to have CAS9 process up and running before SYSVIEW for DB2 Data Collector will start.
