Compatible releases and maintenance levels

Verify that you are using compatible releases and maintenance levels for products that use the IBM® Db2 Data Access Common Collector for z/OS.

The following matrix shows the compatible version and release combinations of:

  • IBM Db2 Query Monitor for z/OS
  • Security Guardium S-TAP for Db2 on z/OS

The following product abbreviations are used:

  • IBM Db2 Data Access Common Collector for z/OS V1.1: CQC V1.1
  • IBM Db2 Query Monitor for z/OS V3.4: CQM V3.4
  • Security Guardium S-TAP for Db2 on z/OS V10.1.3: ADH V10.1.3
  • Security Guardium S-TAP for Db2 on z/OS V11.3: ADH V11.3
Note: All products must be running all of the required CQC IFREQs.
Table 1. Compatible releases and maintenance levels
--- CQM V3.4 ADH V10.1.3 ADH V11.3
CQM V3.4 --- Db2 Db2
ADH V10.1.3 Db2 --- Db2
ADH V11.3 Db2 Db2 ---

where:

N
The two product releases are not compatible.
LPAR
The two products releases can coexist on the same LPAR (provided they use a different MASTER_PROCNAME value) but cannot be active on the same Db2 subsystem.
Db2
The two products releases can coexist on the same LPAR and can both be active on the same Db2 subsystem.

Important restrictions and considerations

  • Different versions of CQM cannot monitor the same Db2 subsystem at the same time.
  • In order for CQM and ADH to run in shared collector mode on a given Db2 subsystem, you must enable the products to share a main address space by specifying the same MASTER_PROCNAME value in the CQM and ADH start-up parameters.
  • In order for different versions of CQM to run on the same LPAR, you must ensure they do not share a main address space. To do this, you must specify different values for MASTER_PROCNAME in the start-up parameters for the different versions.
  • The MASTER_PROCNAME parameter is required for the following:
    • CQM V3.4
