DB2 Version 10.1 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

db2ResetMonitor API - Reset the database system monitor data

Resets the database system monitor data of a specified database, or of all active databases, for the application issuing the call.

Scope

This API can either affect a given database partition on the instance, or all database partitions on the instance.

Authorization

One of the following authorities:

SYSADM
SYSCTRL
SYSMAINT
SYSMON

Required connection

Instance. If there is no instance attachment, a default instance attachment is created.

To reset the monitor switches for a remote instance (or a different local instance), it is necessary to first attach to that instance.

API and data structure syntax

SQL_API_RC SQL_API_FN
  db2ResetMonitor (
   db2Uint32 versionNumber,
   void * pParmStruct,
   struct sqlca * pSqlca);

typedef SQL_STRUCTURE db2ResetMonitorData
{
   db2Uint32 iResetAll;
   char *piDbAlias;
   db2Uint32 iVersion;
   db2int32 iNodeNumber;
} db2ResetMonitorData;

SQL_API_RC SQL_API_FN
  db2gResetMonitor (
   db2Uint32 versionNumber,

   struct sqlca * pSqlca);

typedef SQL_STRUCTURE db2gResetMonitorData
{
   db2Uint32 iResetAll;

   db2Uint32 iDbAliasLength;
   db2Uint32 iVersion;

} db2gResetMonitorData;

db2ResetMonitor API parameters

versionNumber: Input. Specifies the version and release level of the structure passed as the second parameter pParmStruct.
pParmStruct: Input. A pointer to the db2ResetMonitorData structure.
pSqlca: Output. A pointer to the sqlca structure.

db2ResetMonitorData data structure parameters

iResetAll

Input. The reset flag.

piDbAlias

Input. A pointer to the database alias.

iVersion

Input. Version ID of the database monitor data to collect. The database monitor only returns data that was available for the requested version. Set this parameter to one of the following symbolic constants:

SQLM_DBMON_VERSION1
SQLM_DBMON_VERSION2
SQLM_DBMON_VERSION5
SQLM_DBMON_VERSION5_2
SQLM_DBMON_VERSION6
SQLM_DBMON_VERSION7
SQLM_DBMON_VERSION8
SQLM_DBMON_VERSION9
SQLM_DBMON_VERSION9_5

Note: If SQLM_DBMON_VERSION1 is specified as the version, the APIs cannot be run remotely.

Note: Constants SQLM_DBMON_VERSION5_2, and earlier, are deprecated and may be removed in a future release of DB2®.

iNodeNumber

Input. The database partition server where the request is to be sent. Based on this value, the request will be processed for the current database partition server, all database partition servers or a user specified database partition server. Valid values are:

SQLM_CURRENT_NODE
SQLM_ALL_NODES
node value

Note: For stand-alone instances the value, SQLM_CURRENT_NODE, must be used.

db2gResetMonitorData data structure specific parameters

iDbAliasLength: Input. Specifies the length in bytes of the piDbAlias parameter.

Usage notes

Each process (attachment) has its own private view of the monitor data. If one user resets, or turns off a monitor switch, other users are not affected. When an application first calls any database monitor function, it inherits the default switch settings from the database manager configuration file. These settings can be overridden with db2MonitorSwitches - Get/Update Monitor Switches.

If all active databases are reset, some database manager information is also reset to maintain the consistency of the data that is returned.

This API cannot be used to selectively reset specific data items or specific monitor groups. However, a specific group can be reset by turning its switch off, and then on, using db2MonitorSwitches - Get/Update Monitor Switches.
