Viewing deadlocks

When a deadlock occurs, you are informed in the following ways:

• An entry is added to the Event Exception Log pane of the Exception Processing window.
• In the folders pane of the System Overview window, the icon changes next to the DB2® Subsystem for which the deadlock was recorded and next to the folders that contain this DB2 Subsystem. The event exception icon () change remains, by default, for at least five minutes or for the minimum period of time that you specified on the Preferences page of the Configuration window. See Specifying global settings. An event exception icon overrules any warning or problem icon.
• An entry is added to the Exceptions page of the System Overview window.
• By a message, a beep, an e mail, or a mixture of them. Whether you receive these types of information, and which of them, depends on your specifications in the Exception Settings window and on the Exception page of the OMEGAMON Collector Properties window. To receive an e mail, you must also have requested this type of information about the Activation window.
• By using a user exit. In this case, you must have enabled the user exit and specified its path on the Exception page of the OMEGAMON Collector Properties window. In addition, you must have selected the user exit in the Activation window. For information about how to write a user exit, refer to Working with the exception user exit.
