Installing the DB2 Client and ODBC Driver on the Proxy Collector

To collect data from a DB2 database, the proxy collector must have the DB2 client software and the DB2 ODBC driver installed.

Follow these steps:

1. Install the DB2 client software on the proxy collector. The ODBC driver is automatically installed when you install the DB2 client software using the default options.

   The DB2 client can be found on the DB2 product CDs. See the IBM DB2 documentation for instructions on how to install the client.

2. From the Object Tree, expand the Network Storage folder and select the Computers node.

   The Computers table opens.

3. Right-click the proxy collector, and select Collect Now.

   CA SRM queries the proxy collector and detects the presence of the DB2 ODBC driver. This detection helps ensure that you can use the TSM Registration Wizard to designate the computer as the proxy collector.
