Run the DB2 Registration Wizard

You can run the CA SRM DB2 Registration Wizard from any computer on which the CA SRM Windows Client is installed. You can collect data from any managed computer that has the IBM DB2 client software and the IBM DB2 ODBC driver installed, and on which the DB2 instance is cataloged.

To register a DB2 server using the DB2 Registration Wizard

1. From the Open Systems menu of the CA SRM Windows Client, select Register, Applications, and then DB2.

   The DB2 Registration Wizard opens.

   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.

2. Select a computer to serve as the proxy collector. The wizard creates this list by searching the Computers table for machines that have the DB2 client software and the DB2 ODBC driver installed.

   

3. Select the instance you want to register from the list, and enter the user name and password for the user under whom the collection should be performed.

   

   Note: If you do not see any instances, it is because the DB2 instance has not been cataloged on the proxy collector; the DB2 server has not been registered as a managed computer; or both. Make sure the proxy collector has the DB2 instance cataloged and that the DB2 server is a managed computer.

   If you have not cataloged the instance, but the DB2 server has been registered as a managed computer, you can catalog the instance directly from the wizard by clicking Catalog new Instance. For more information about using this feature, click Help.

4. Choose the frequency with which you want to update the DB2 data. Select the Detailed check box if you want to collect detailed data.

   

   Note: Collecting detailed information increases the time required by the data collection service.

5. Edit the fields in this dialog if you want to add a different location, organization, and contact:
   • Location-Lets you attach a geographic location to the computer or server. Select a location from the drop-down list. You can also click New Location to add the details of the new location in the Create New Location dialog. Click OK to exit the dialog.
   • Organization- Lets you attach organization to the computer or server. Select an organization from the drop-down list. You can also click New Organization to add the details of the new organization in the Create New Organization dialog. Click OK to exit the dialog.
