Registering IBM DB2 Databases

To register an IBM DB2 database, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Register the DB2 server as a managed computer in CA SRM.
  2. Install the DB2 client and the DB2 ODBC driver on the proxy collector.
  3. Define a user with SYSMON or SYSMAINT authority on the DB2 database.
  4. Grant database privileges to the CA SRM user.
  5. For DB2 instances on UNIX, set the library path variable.
  6. For DB2 instances on UNIX, verify that the necessary GCC libraries are present.
  7. Catalog (configure) the database on the proxy collector. Cataloging can be done before or during registration.
  8. Run the DB2 Registration Wizard.

    Important! If you have just installed the DB2 server on the proxy collector, you must restart the computer before running the registration wizard. Otherwise, the wizard will fail to start.

Note: To collect data from a 64-bit DB2 server running on a 64-bit operating system, you must use a 32-bit proxy collector for data collection.
