Autonomics Director for DB2 for z/OS
Autonomics Director for DB2 for z/OS, V1.6, provides the framework for a comprehensive DB2 autonomics environment. By using DB2 Autonomics Director and other DB2 tools that provide autonomics capabilities, you can automatically detect potential storage, organization, and performance problems, and proactively run maintenance utilities to ensure that your data remains tuned and accessible.
- In a passive autonomics environment, you can automatically gather DB2 real-time statistics and information about the results of running DB2 utilities. That data is used as input to identify potential problem situations and to recommend actions that you can take to correct problem situations. Based on your own analysis, you decide whether to follow the recommendations.
- In an active autonomics environment, utilities are run for you automatically based on a number of factors including the priority of the job, how many tasks are already running, and how much time remains in the maintenance window.
