Install the DB2 Performance Expert Extended Insight Feature
Client on the necessary servers
Now that you have verified the DB2 Performance Expert Extended Insight
prerequisites, the next step is to install the Performance Expert
Extended Insight Feature Client.
As mentioned previously, you must install Performance Expert Extended
Insight Feature on the following units:
- All database client machines that are to be monitored
- All machines with IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ that
are collecting monitoring data
Note: A common mistake is to install the Performance Expert
Extended Insight Feature Client component on the Performance Expert
Server or on the Performance Expert Client system. Performance Expert
Extended Insight Feature Client needs to be installed on all your
WebSphere Server machines, all machines with IBM Data Server Driver
for JDBC and SQLJ, or both.
The Performance Expert Extended Insight Feature Client collects
valuable performance data then transfers the performance data back to
the Performance Expert Server where you have enabled the Performance
Expert Extended Insight Feature. Later on in this tutorial, you will
see how to enable (activate) your Performance Expert Extended Insight
Feature.
- Run the Performance Expert Extended Insight Feature Client
executable.
Here is a list of executables for each
platform:
- AIX: IBM_PE_EI_V3_2_AIX.bin
- HP-UX: IBM_PE_EI_V3_2_HPUX_ia64.bin
- Linux: IBM_PE_EI_V3_2_Linux_x86.bin
- Solaris: IBM_PE_EI_V3_2_Solaris_Sparc.bin
- Windows: IBM_PE_EI_V3_2_Windows.exe
- Go through the install screens. (You will need to do this on each
of the servers listed above.)
