Db2 Message attributes

Use the Db2 Message attributes to identify problems with your Db2 system.

DB2ID The name of a Db2 subsystem.

Db2 Version The version of the Db2 system.

Interval Start The date and time, as set on the monitored system, indicating the instance when the agent collects information.

Originating System ID The managed system name of the agent. It is an alphanumeric text string, with a maximum of 32 characters; for example, DB91:SYS1:DB2.

Note: By default Db2 messages are not collected. If you want to collect Db2 messages, use the Configuration Tool and select: Monitoring Profile configuration –> Additional configuration settings. If you configure it to YES, the Db2 message subtask is started during Db2 instance initialization.

To start or stop Db2 message collection manually specify the following:

F <cccccccc>,F PESERVER,F<db2>,DB2MSGMON=<p>

where:

cccccccc: Identifies the OMEGAMON Collector started task name.
db2: Identifies the Db2 name.
p: Select Y to start or N to stop the message subtask.

If you do not see any Db2 messages, check if Db2 message subtask is started from the OMEGAMON Collector started task.
