Register remote Windows DB2 environment dialog box

Use Register remote Windows DB2 environment dialog box to configure a DB2 environment. Make sure you have configured the WinRm correctly. See WinRm configuration.

Items on this dialog box

FieldsDescription
Environment name

Enter a unique environment name for monitoring the DB2 environment. A container will be created with the environment name. This environment will hold all the DB2 instances. BMC recommends you to provide only alphanumeric characters in environment name.

Remote Host connection details
Host

Enter a valid powershell remote Host name or an IP address. Each environment can contain a single host name. BMC recommends you to provide only alphanumeric characters in environment name.

PortEnter the remote powershell port number. Default port number is 5985.
User

Enter the name of a user with permissions to run DB2 commands. The user should have at least SYSMON user with DATAACCESS privileges.

PasswordEnter a password to connect to the remote host.
Authentication

Select an authentication protocol to connect to the remote host:

  • Negotiate - Negotiate authentication automatically selects between the Kerberos protocol and NTLM authentication, depending on availability.
  • Basic - Basic authentication sends a Base64-encoded string that contains a user name and password for the client. Base64 is not a form of encryption and should be considered the same as sending the user name and password in clear text. If a resource needs to be protected, strongly consider using an authentication scheme other than basic authentication.
  • Kerberos - The Kerberos protocol is used if it is available; otherwise, NTLM is tried. Kerberos authentication significantly improves upon NTLM. Kerberos authentication is both faster than NTLM and allows the use of mutual authentication and delegation of credentials to remote machines.
Use HTTPsSelect this checkbox if you configured the WinRM to use HTTPs protocol to connect to the remote host.
DB2 connection details
HOME installation PATH

Enter the path to the installation base directory. Files are installed to the following directories under the installation base as follows:

For example:

Windows: C:\Program Files\IBM\SQLLIB 

UNIX: /opt/ibm/db2/V10.5

Monitored DB instancesEnter a comma separated list of database instance names which you want to monitor. Leave this field blank to monitor all DB instances.
UserEnter the name of a user to connect to the DB2 environment. If this field is left blank, then the Remote Host connection details user and password will be used.
PasswordEnter a password to connect to the DB2 environment.
JAVA collector settings
JAVA_HOME

Enter the path to the J2EE folder where the jar files reside.

For example:

Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7

Unix\LINUX: /usr/java7_64/

Executing userEnter the name of the user with permission to run the java process. If this field is left blank, then the Remote Host connection details user and password will be used.
PasswordEnter a password of the executing user.
