What causes this issue?

The DB2 User Exit saves complete log files to the log directory using
the database engine. It is saved:
To the log archive
Or, if you use an archiving system such as TSM or LEGATO, directly to
the archiving system.
Only after this archiving does the database engine delete log files
that are no longer required from the log directory.

System Response

If the User Exit does not work properly (for example, because there is
no space in the log archive), the database can no longer delete old log
files and the log directory will gradually become full. As soon as
there is no space left in the log directory, the engine can no longer
create new log files. This leads to system shutdown.

How to fix this error?

If errors occur at User Exit, it is crucial that you analyze them. If
necessary, start User Exit manually and save the log files in order to
create some space in the log directory.
