Installing the program files

After successfully completing the installation, you can start Buffer Pool Analyzer Client and control its functions from the DB2® Control Center.

About this task

You must have administration privileges to install Buffer Pool Analyzer Client.

Both the initial version and later fixes for the program files for Buffer Pool Analyzer Client are available online. For download instructions, refer to the technote “OMPE: web-based delivery of updates for PE Workstation Client and PE Agent” on the IBM Software Support website. If needed, a direct link to the technote is included in the hold instructions of every PE Client PTF on the host. The available program build levels and fix descriptions are documented in the technote.

Note: The technote and website refer to the Performance Expert Client rather than the Buffer Pool Analyzer Client. However, these are the same. You chose at installation which product you want to install.

Procedure

  1. Verify that you have closed the Db2 Control Center. The Db2 Control Center must be closed before you start the client installation in order for the Control Center plug-in to be installed properly.
  2. Extract the files and directories from the compressed file(s) into the installation directory, for example, C:\PROGRAMS\IBM\BPACLIENT.
    The archives contain the following files and directories:
    • db2pe.client.*.exe
    • iehs*win.jar
  3. Run the *.exe file.
    The InstallAnywhere Wizard starts, and the IBM® Tivoli® OMEGAMON® XE for DB2 Performance Expert on z/OS® Setup window opens. If you did not close the Db2 Control Center before installing the plug-in, you might not be able to access the Buffer Pool Analyzer Client from the Db2 Control Center.
