Starting exception processing

This topic explains how to start exception processing.

To work with exception processing, you can do one of the following:
  • In the System Overview window, select the DB2® subsystem in the folders pane and then click the Exception Processing toolbar button (Exception Processing toolbar button).
  • In the System Overview window, click Tools > Exceptions > Exception Processing.

The Exception Processing window is displayed.

This window provides information about the status of both event and periodic exception processing for all DB2 subsystems to which you are logged on. The icons that are displayed when you click Event Exceptions in the folders pane of the window have the following meaning:
Event in use
The event is supported by the OMEGAMON® Collector and switched on at its startup.
Event not available
The event is supported by the OMEGAMON Collector but was not switched on at its startup.
N/A
The event is not supported by the OMEGAMON Collector.

The Exception Processing window shows up to the latest 9999 exceptions recorded. If you want to change this number, click Exception Processing > Settings. The Exception Settings window is displayed. On its pages, you can change the number of entries that is collected in the log for event exception and periodic exception processing.

If you want to be informed whenever an exception is recorded, you can choose to be notified by a message or a beep. Click Exception Processing > Settings. The Exception Settings window is displayed. On its pages, you can specify the kind of notification for event exceptions and periodic exceptions.
