Creating a tools catalog

When you update the statistics for a nickname, you can use a Db2® tools catalog to schedule subsequent updates to nickname statistics. If you lack a Db2 tools catalog, you are prompted to create a catalog. You can create a tools catalog from the command line prompt.

Before you begin

The database administration server must be installed.

Procedure

Issue the CREATE TOOLS catalog command.

Specify the system that you want to create a database on for the tools catalog.

What to do next

The database must be on a cataloged system that has no metadata storage. If the system you want is not cataloged, you must catalog the system before you create the database for the tools catalog.
