When the ALERT button is displayed, the problematic condition is not necessarily associated with the data on the current report. If an alert condition exists anywhere on the sysplex, the ALERT button is displayed on all reports.
When you click on the ALERT button, the Background Advisor DB2 Selection List panel is displayed.This panel lists all active DB2 subsystems on the sysplex.

The overall status of the background advisors for each monitored DB2
subsystem is shown below. Click on the value for "Current status"
to display the individual advisors for that DB2 subsystem.
DB2 subsystem: DHB2 (8.1) Current status: *ALERT*
DB2 subsystem: DHY1 (9.1) Current status: NORMAL
DB2 subsystem: DHY2 (9.1) Current status: *ALERT*
The Current status field indicates the highest severity condition that exists on the DB2 subsystem. The values for Current status correspond to the possible values for the ADVISOR button and are coded with the same colors:
- NORMAL corresponds to ADVISOR (turquoise)
- NOTES (green)
- WARNING (yellow)
- ALERT (red)
Click on the Current status value to display the individual advisors associated with a DB2 subsystem.
The Advisor Selection List panel lists the individual component advisors for the selected DB2 and the Current status for each. The values represent the highest severity condition associated with the corresponding resource. Click on the value for Current status to display the analysis advisor for the resource.
