Diagnostic tools (Windows)
Three useful diagnostic tools on Windows systems are described.
The following diagnostic tools are available for Windows operating systems:
- Event viewer, performance monitor, and other administrative tools
- The Administrative Tools folder provides a variety of diagnostic information, including access to the event log and access to performance information.
- Task Manager
- The Task Manager shows all of the processes running on the Windows server, along with details about memory usage. Use this tool to find out which
Db2® processes
are running, and to diagnose performance problems. Using this tool, you can determine memory usage,
memory limits, swapper space used, and memory leakage for a process.
To open the Task Manager, press Ctrl + Alt + Delete, and click Task Manager from the available options.
- Dr. Watson
- The Dr. Watson utility
is invoked in the event of a General Protection Fault (GPF). It logs
data that might help in diagnosing a problem, and saves this information
to a file. You must start this utility by typing
drwatsonon the command line.
