Setting up security for the OMEGAMON Collector

Follow the procedure to set up security for the OMEGAMON® Collector.

Before you begin

The OMEGAMON Collector started task runs under a user ID. Therefore, you must create either a user ID or a group ID with the name DB2PM and connect the started task to this ID. If you do not want to use Performance Warehouse, Db2 Connect™ Monitoring, or SQL Performance Analyzer, you can use a different started task user ID that is not DB2PM. In this case, perform the steps below with your started task user ID instead of DB2PM.

Ensure that you have sufficient privileges to create a new user ID or group ID in the security system that you are using, for example RACF®.

About this task

Complete the following steps to create the user ID or group ID DB2PM and connect the OMEGAMON Collector started task to it:

Procedure

    If you prefer to use an alternative user ID other than DB2PM, create a group ID DB2PM and add the user ID that you want to use to the user group DB2PM.
  2. Connect the OMEGAMON Collector started task to the user ID DB2PM.
