KD5_AUTO

Specify Y if subsystem autodiscovery is to be enabled. With this product, a feature to allow the automatic detection of startup and termination of DB2 subsystems is supported. Collection probes for the subsystems are automatically started and stopped upon detection of subsystem activity.

This autodiscovery function is supported by the DPDC AUTODISCOVER command. When the DPDC AUTODISCOVER command is specified, it starts a new monitoring thread in the CMS address space at startup time, which automatically starts data collection for active DB2 subsystems. It also periodically examines subsystems to detect when new subsystems are started or terminated. Data collection threads are automatically started or stopped by the monitoring thread when a change of state is detected. The data collection options specified in the RKANPARU(KDPCNFG) member is changed to allow wildcards "*" to be accepted in parameters that currently accept DB2 subsystem IDs.

This enables the end-user to specify monitoring options without knowing in advance the names of all the DB2 subsystems. Specific data collection categories may be disabled or monitoring of entire subsystems disabled.

The default is Y.
