Configuration: Monitoring Settings (DB2 UDB for UNIX and Windows) 

This function is only available for RFC-monitored systems.

Use

You can use this function to configure the monitoring tools themselves. The following functions are available:

·        You can check the user-defined function libraries (UDFs).

Normally, these are automatically configured when you start the DBA Cockpit for a system for the first time. If the DBA Cockpit recognizes any problem with the UDF installation of the selected system during its initialization, an error message is displayed and the CCMS Configuration screen appears automatically.

·        You can change the retention periods for history data.

Procedure

Checking the User-Defined Function Libraries

...

       1.      Call the DBA Cockpit.

       2.      In the navigation frame, choose Configuration  ® Monitoring Settings.

The Configuration: Monitoring Tool Settings screen appears.

       3.      Choose UDF Configuration.

The cataloged path and version of the UDF library is displayed. The DBA Cockpit assumes that this path is the path to the executables of the SAP system as it was created during the standard installation procedure. The UDF version that is displayed corresponds to the current patch number of the UDF library db6pmudf.

If you change the path, keep in mind that the DBA Cockpit only accepts paths that contain the SAP system ID or an empty path. If you do not indicate a path, DB2 assumes that the UDFs are located in the DB2 UDF library. Any other path that does not comply with these rules will be automatically changed when you start the DBA Cockpit. The DBA Cockpit then assumes that the UDFs are located in the directory where the SAP kernel is located.

       4.      To test the current path, choose Test.

In case of problems, error messages are displayed during the test. These are typically some SQL error messages, which indicate, for example, that the UDFs were not found under the specified path or that the user does not have the required authorizations.

You must save your changes before you can run the next test.

Changing the Retention Periods for History Data

       1.      Call the DBA Cockpit.

       2.      In the navigation frame, choose Configuration  ® Monitoring Settings.

The Configuration: Monitoring Tool Settings screen appears.

       3.      Choose History Data.

The values displayed are set by default.

       4.      To change the values, choose  Display<->Change.

       5.      Save your changes.
