Performance Expert Agent for DB2 Connect Monitoring in a data sharing environment

If you are installing or configuring OMEGAMON® for Db2 PE in a data sharing environment, you might need to alter your configuration of certain components.

Performance Expert Agent for DB2 Connect Monitoring

The following configuration scenarios are possible with Performance Expert Agent for DB2 Connect Monitoring in a data-sharing environment:
  • Monitor one member of a data sharing group. This configuration is sufficient in most data sharing environments, even when the members reside on different LPARS in a sysplex environment.
  • Monitor two or more members of a data sharing group. To enable DB2 Connect Monitoring, you have to enable Snapshot History and activate the collection of DB2 Connect Monitoring data. You can enable that for two or more members of a data sharing group. However, consider the following effects:
    • DB2 Connect Monitoring data is collected and stored for only one member of the data sharing group. Monitoring is started first for this DB2 subsystem.
    • The user interfaces must connect to the member for which DB2 Connect Monitoring data is collected and stored. Otherwise, they cannot display DB2 Connect Monitoring data.
    • If the monitoring for the DB2 subsystem, for which the DB2 Connect Monitoring data was collected, is stopped, and you have enabled DB2 Connect Monitoring for two or more members of a data sharing group, then data collection for another member takes over. Ensure to reconnect the user interface to this member to display DB2 Connect Monitoring data.
