Integrating
MainView for DB2 is integrated with both components and products to provide additional functionality for DB2 performance analysis and management.
Several MainView for DB2 windows mode views and a few full-screen displays provide direct online access to the following components and products if they are installed and active:
- SQL Performance for DB2
- OPERTUNE for DB2
- Pool Advisor for DB2
- APPTUNE for DB2
Except for OPERTUNE for DB2, all of these products use the Data Collector functionality
The components and products must be installed at the appropriate release level, and must be confirmed to be in the system where the PAS and target DB2 reside. For more information, see the Installation System documentation. In addition to online access, the MainView for DB2 provides batch reporting functions.
The Data Collector products, including the MainView for DB2 - Data Collector component, support online access to remote DB2s within the same sysplex. You can hyperlink from MainView for DB2 to display reports for any DB2 within the sysplex where your MainView user session resides. At this time, hyperlinks to DB2s outside of that sysplex are not supported. Access to remote DB2s with CATALOG MANAGER for DB2 requires DB2 DDF connections.
Online access to these components and products is also supported from MainView Alternate Access.
For information about installing the components, see the Installation System documentation.
