Description
Context
All
A context of all active Db2 subsystems
Screen
MVDB2
An initial screen of BMC AMI OpsM for Db2, which displays an easy menu called EZDSSI
The EZDSSI view is a good starting point for working in windows mode. It provides direct access to context oriented services for groups of Db2 subsystems
DBAs might want to use the EZDBA easy menu, shown in EZDBA-Applications-Menu , as a starting place, because it simplifies access to either one Db2 or multiple Db2s in SSI mode. You can type the view name, EZDBA, on the COMMAND line from any view, but to access it at logon, change the default screen name from MVDB2 to MVDB2DBA. You can also hyperlink to EZDBA from EZDSSI by using the EZDBA Menu / Tgt & SSI option.
The EZDSSI view is displayed.

Window number (W1)
This number can be helpful when you have several windows open at once.
- Name of this view (EZDSSI)
- Current target context (ALL)
- Date
- Time
- Product (MVDB2)
This view is an example of an easy menu that provides hyperlinks to various other views.
This EZDSSI easy menu is designed to be used in Single System Image (SSI) mode to look at multiple target Db2s at one time.
You can use several hyperlinks to other easy menus to check out Db2 status. You can check the following examples (but do not move beyond them) before continuing to the next procedure:
- Stats Menu provides options to select the many views that show complete Db2 statistics (EZDSTAT). EZDSTAT hyperlinks generally go to tabular views that show one row per Db2, with detail views accessible from there.
- Buffer Pool Menu provides options to show status and statistics for individual buffer pools (and group buffer pools).
- EZDBA Menu / Tgt & SSI provides options to analyze one Db2 or multiple Db2s in SSI mode.
- To return to the Db2 Solutions Menu, press F3.
