Setting Up the Monitoring Environment
Before monitoring a DB2 database server, you must set up the monitor environment.
To set up the DB2 monitor environment:
Install all the client files and libraries on the Controller or Tuning Console machine.
Select Start > Programs > DB2 for Windows NT > Control Center. Enter your DB2 server username and password (with administrative privileges).
In the console that opens, right-click Systems, and select Add.
Enter the following settings in the dialog box:
System Name: <server name>
Remote Instance: DB2
Host Name: <server name>
Service Name: the DB2 server port. The default value is 50000.
Click Retrieve, and then OK.
Note: If you receive an error message after clicking Retrieve, repeat steps 3 and 4, and click OK.
Expand the <server name> node in the console tree.
Right-click Instance, and select Add.
Enter the following settings in the dialog box:
Remote Instance: DB2
Instance Name: the database instance to be called from the Controller or Tuning Console
Host Name: <server name>
Service Name: <DB2 server port>. The default value is 50000.
Click OK and close the Control Center.
Note: You can only work with a single Database Manager instance during each monitoring session.
