The gateway snapshot time

The Gateway Snapshot Time counter on the DB2 Connect Server pane of the Statistics Details window and on the Statistics window shows the timestamp at which the snapshot was taken at the DB2 Connect gateway. This timestamp usually differs from the snapshot timestamp of the OMEGAMON® Collector.

If you are viewing current data, the OMEGAMON Collector displays the most recent data that was received from the DB2 Connect gateway. In history mode, the OMEGAMON Collector searches for a DB2 Connect gateway snapshot that is closest to the history snapshot of the OMEGAMON Collector.

If the DB2 Connect gateway, OMEGAMON Collector, Performance Expert Client, or all of them are in different times zones, the times shown in the Gateway Snapshot Time counter and for the OMEGAMON Collector snapshot are adapted to the Performance Expert Client time. For example, if the OMEGAMON Collector receives a snapshot from the DB2 Connect gateway that was taken at 11 a.m., the OMEGAMON Collector location is two hours ahead of the DB2 Connect gateway location, and the Performance Expert Client location is three hours ahead of the OMEGAMON Collector location, the Gateway Snapshot Time counter displays a time of 16:00 (4 p.m.).
