asked on DB2 11.5 Capture text of generated query
DB2 11.5 on Windows
We have an app that creates and runs a query based on a number of conditions. This app is legacy and no one know much about it. The beginning of the query is the same.
MERGE INTO schema1.table1 dgmsnc USING
After that it gets complicated. I have searched the plan cache and diag log but can't find it. Is there any way to capture a given query without capturing all queries? This is a busy system and if I try to log every query it will bring the system to it's knees.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

We have an issue where the database is producing FODC files ever day and I opened a case with IBM and they have identified this one query as maybe the issue but they need the full query. This app grabs a dataset and then run this query for each item. The problem is no one knows exactly how it works. I would like for the developer to just write it to a log as it runs but they are scared to death to touch it because of it's age and no one current here know anything about it.

How much overhead do you think this might add? It is a very busy database and almost every process is ran by one or two accounts. So "someone" will be a lot of data.
It basically is writing text to the log so there shouldn't be much overhead, even if a lot is written to the log.
And you can turn it on/off any time you want. If you know that the job in question will run between 9:15 and 9:30AM, enable the event monitor by 9:15 and disable it after 9:30. If it runs at 2:30AM just create windows events to enable it by 2:30 and disable it a short time later.
If it runs periodically throughout the day, turn the event monitor on any time you want, let it run, and disable it later. Then check the log.

Great minds think alike. I was just thinking that last night. Thank you!!!!
That's a tough one. I don't know of any way to log just one query without modifying the SQL that's running it.
