Using Statistics traces to get system overview information
The best way to get started with OMEGAMON® XE for Db2 PE is to create a long Statistics trace report to get an overview of your Db2 system.
To do this:
- Run a Db2 trace to collect DB2 Statistics data during a 24-hour period.
- Create a Statistics trace report.
- Interpret the report and adjust the system.
The reason for creating a trace report is that the 24-hour period is reported as a single interval. A normal report creates a record for each Statistics interval, which could result in an output of more than 1 200 pages.
Choose a day that will have a fairly typical workload, not a weekend, for example, or a public holiday when workload will probably be much reduced.
