yesterday I saw this
announcement on DB2 and IMS tools (zp08-0262) that caught my attention. Mainly because it talks about a no-charge suite of DB2 tools called 'DB2 Accessories Suite for z/OS' (5655-R14) I hadn't heard of before. It seems to be a new version of 'Data Studio Administration Console' which up to now only supported health and availability monitoring for DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows V9.5 through a web-based user interface. This has now been extended to DB2 for z/OS, V8 and V9.
What can you do with it ?
- View selected health and availability information regarding databases and troubleshoot problems using expert recommendations:
- Monitor the health and availability of databases.
- Drill down into warnings or alerts for a specific database.
- Troubleshoot problems using expert recommendations.
- View the health of Q replication, troubleshoot problems, and generate reports:
- View and monitor the health of Q replication configurations.
- Drill down into the details about the programs, queues, subscriptions, or publications.
- Generate message, exception, or latency reports.
You need a data collector and agent on z/OS to enable these functions. The Web-based Data Studio Administration Console component is available as a Web-download at
http://www.ibm.com/software/data/studio/.
You can find more information on the
IBM web site as well.
