Interaction with other products from BMC Software

In addition to functioning as a component of the Database Performance for DB2 solution, you can use DASD MANAGER PLUS with the Administrative Products for DB2 and the Utility Products for DB2 from BMC Software:

Administrative products for DB2

BMC Software offers the following administrative products:

  • ALTER for DB2 and BMC AMI Change Manager for Db2

  • BMC AMI Catalog Manager for Db2

DASD MANAGER PLUS and BMC AMI Catalog Manager for Db2 share some functions with each other and with ALTER and BMC AMI Change Manager for Db2, as follows:

  • ALTER and BMC AMI Change Manager for Db2 can access the DASD MANAGER PLUS BMCSTATS and space estimation functions. They can also access the EVENTS table.

  • BMC AMI Catalog Manager for Db2 has commands for accessing the DASD MANAGER PLUS BMCSTATS, BMCTRIG, and space estimation functions, as well as the EVENTS table and statistics displays.

  • ALTER and BMC AMI Change Manager for Db2 can access the BMC AMI Catalog Manager for Db2 audit function and drop recovery logs.

Backup and Recovery products for DB2

BMC Software offers the following backup and recovery products for DB2:

  • BMC AMI Copy for Db2 

  • BMC AMI Recover for Db2

  • BMC AMI Recovery Manager for Db2

DASD MANAGER PLUS object sets are stored in a common set of DB2 tables, enabling object sets to be shared across products. The following products can use an object set that has been defined in any of these products:

  • BMC AMI Copy

  • BMC AMI Recover

  • BMC AMI Recovery Manager

Utility products for DB2

BMC Software offers the following utility products for DB2:

DASD MANAGER PLUS can run the Utility products for DB2 in utility jobs that you run manually or automatically with BMCTRIG. You can integrate DASD MANAGER PLUS with the utilities, as follows:

  • LOADPLUS and REORG PLUS can produce statistics and update the DASD MANAGER PLUS tables. However, LOADPLUS and REORG PLUS do not update all catalog columns. For more information, see the LOADPLUS and REORG PLUS documentation.

  • UNLOAD PLUS, REORG PLUS, and BMC AMI Copy for Db2  can use the snapshot feature of the BMC Software EXTENDED BUFFER MANAGER (XBM) product.
