Before you can use the Performance Expert Client, you must establish
a connection to the OMEGAMON
Collector by defining the Db2 subsystem. This allows the Performance Expert Client
access to the performance data for this Db2
subsystem.
About this task
If there is a local firewall on the processor where the Performance Expert Client is installed, you must grant access for DB2PEClient.exe.
Otherwise, the connection fails.
