HEALTH_DB_HIC table function

The HEALTH_DB_HIC function returns collection health indicator information from a health snapshot of a database.

Important: This table function has been deprecated and might be removed in a future release because the health monitor has been deprecated. It is not supported in Db2® pureScale® environments. For more information, see Health monitor has been deprecated..

Table function parameters

dbname
An input argument of type VARCHAR(255) that specifies a valid database name in the same instance as the currently connected database when calling this function. Specify a database name that has a directory entry type of either "Indirect" or "Home", as returned by the LIST DATABASE DIRECTORY command. Specify the null value to take the snapshot from all databases under the database instance.
member
An input argument of type INTEGER that specifies a valid database member number. Specify -1 for the current database member, or -2 for all active database members. An active database member is a member where the database is available for connection and use by applications.

If the null value is specified, -1 is set implicitly.

Authorization

One of the following authorities is required to execute the routine:
  • EXECUTE privilege on the routine
  • DATAACCESS authority
  • DBADM authority
  • SQLADM authority

Default PUBLIC privilege

In a non-restrictive database, EXECUTE privilege is granted to PUBLIC when the function is automatically created.
