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 drwatson on the command line.
