Problem Solution
Historical data collection is unavailable because of incorrect queries in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal.

The column, Sort By, Group By, and First/Last functions are not compatible with the historical data collection feature. Use of these advanced functions will make a query ineligible for historical data collection.

Even if data collection has been started, you cannot use the time span feature if the query for the chart or table includes any column functions or advanced query options (Sort By, Group By, First / Last).

To ensure support of historical data collection, do not use the Sort By, Group By, or First/Last functions in your queries.

See the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Administrator's Guide for information about the Historical Data Collection function.

db2c_Instance PortNumber/tcp
The services file is located at the following paths:
  • Windows systems: %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\services
  • UNIX and Linux® systems: /etc/services
After these changes take effect, the specified PortNumber is displayed in the Network Info workspace.
