Limited support BMC provides limited support for this version of the product. As a result, BMC no longer accepts comments in this space. If you encounter problems with the product version or the space, contact BMC Support.BMC recommends upgrading to the latest version of the product.

Variable repository

The variable repository provides a method for editing parameter variables through a series of panels. The panels outline all of the variables, giving you the opportunity to edit any or all of the values.

One variable repository is created for each Data Collector. Use the variable repository for a Data Collector to set values for parameter variables for all Db2 subsystems that have been monitored by that Data Collector (whether or not they are currently being monitored).

Select option 1 (View and edit product variables) from the Configuration Menu to access variable repository functions. The following figure shows Variable Repository SSID Selection panel.

This panel lists all of the Db2 subsystems that are associated with the Data Collector. The panel also includes an option (#ALL) for assigning the same variable values to all Db2 subsystems in the list.

Warning

Important

If you specify a global value for a parameter (using #ALL) and you specify a different value for the same parameter for a specific Db2 subsystem, the Db2 subsystem value overrides the global value.

If you change a global value for a parameter using #ALL, you must recycle the Data Collector for changes to take effect for all Db2 subsystems that do not have a Db2-specific parameter specified. If you have previously specified a Db2-specific parameter and would like the #ALL variable to take effect after a Data Collect recycle, you must delete the parameter coded for the Db2 SSID.

If you are no longer using the current Data Collector to monitor a Db2 subsystem that is included in the list, you can use the D action code to delete the subsystem from the list. All of the specifications for that Db2 subsystem are removed from the repository for the Data Collector.

If you delete the variables from the repository, you should also delete the Db2 subsystem from the list of Db2 subsystems being monitored by this Data Collector in the DOMPLEX option set. If you do not remove it from the monitor list, you must recycle the Data Collector to reestablish the default values.

If you decide to monitor the Db2 again with the same Data Collector, default values are computed for all variables until you set new values in the repository. You can delete the entries that are associated with #ALL, but you cannot delete the #ALL record.
