Federation: Creating a DB2 tools catalog

When you update the statistics for a nickname, you can use a DB2® tools catalog to schedule subsequent updates to nickname statistics. If you lack a DB2 tools catalog, you are prompted to create a catalog. You can create a DB2 tools catalog from DB2 Control Center or the command line prompt, but you only can schedule the update with the DB2 Control Center.

Before you begin

The DB2 administration server must be installed.

Procedure

To create a DB2 tools catalog from the DB2 Control Center:

The Statistics Update window opens when you update nickname statistics.
Select the system that you want to create a database on for the DB2 tools catalog.

The database must be on a cataloged system that has no metadata storage. If the system you want is not cataloged, you must catalog the system before you create the database for the DB2 tools catalog.
