Defining a DB2 Connect gateway

If an OMEGAMON® Collector is registered for a Performance Expert Agent for DB2 Connect Monitoring, it receives information about the DB2 Connect server that is installed on the same system as Performance Expert Agent for DB2 Connect Monitoring. The DB2 Connect server serves as DB2 Connect gateway. The information is stored in the DB2PM database of the OMEGAMON Collector.

To monitor a DB2 Connect gateway from Performance Expert Client, you must establish a connection between Performance Expert Client and the OMEGAMON Collector collecting the information about the activities of a DB2 Connect server that serves as DB2 Connect gateway. You do this by defining the DB2 Connect gateway:
  1. On the System Overview window, click Monitor > New DB2 System.

    The New DB2® System wizard is displayed.

  2. On the Object page, click DB2 Connect/Gateways and then click Next.
  3. On the DB2 Connect/Gateways page, do the following:
    1. From the DB2 system alias list, select the DB2 subsystem monitored by the OMEGAMON Collector that receives data from one or more Performance Expert Agents for DB2 Connect Monitoring.
    2. Click Retrieve to retrieve the names of all DB2 Connect gateways with Performance Expert Agents for DB2 Connect Monitoring that send data to the selected OMEGAMON Collector.

      The Logon window is displayed.

    3. In the User ID field, type your user ID. In the Password field, type your password. Then click OK.

      The DB2 Connect/Gateways page of the New DB2 System window is displayed. The DB2 Connect gateway name consists of the following parts: the IP address, the workstation name, and the name of the DB2 subsystem containing Performance Expert Agent for DB2 Connect Monitoring. The fields under Gateway Information are shown.

    4. Select a DB2 Connect gateway name.

      This name is also displayed in the Gateway alias field.

    5. Optionally you can specify another name in the Gateway alias field that is unique throughout Performance Expert Client. This name is shown in the folders pane of the System Overview window.
    6. Optionally you can specify a description for the selected DB2 Connect gateway.
  4. Click Finish to return to the System Overview window.

    The name of the DB2 Connect gateway is displayed in the System Overview window under the DB2 Connect/Gateways folder.
