WHAT IS IBM DATAHUB FOR OS/2?


     IBM* DataHub* for OS/2* is IBM's solution for managing the IBM DB2*
     family of relational databases and provides a set of integrated
     database management functions that can help you achieve the
     following objectives:

     * Increase IS staff productivity -- DataHub provides an
       object-oriented graphical user interface that allows a DBA to
       manage multiple DB2 databases in the network from a single
       desktop control point.

       DataHub allows a DBA to browse multiple DB2 catalogs and:
       - copy data and definitions between systems,
       - manage security authorizations,
       - perform DB2 commands to backup, recover, reorganize and
         configure a remote database,
       - add or delete users to a User Profile Management (UPM) system,
       - IPL a remote OS/2 system,
       - perform remote OS/2 commands or command procedures.

     * Provide automation for OS/2 and AIX* servers -- DataHub provides
       an automated scheduler for automating operations and can
       interoperate with NetView* or other SNMP-based network management
       systems by detecting and forwarding problems in user defined jobs
       to a NetView or SNMP control center.

     * Provide multiple choices of network protocols -- DataHub now
       supports TCP/IP and NetBIOS as well as SNA APPC for systems
       management connections for OS/2 and AIX systems.

     * Enhance useability -- DataHub Version 2 has been improved to
       allow multiple tools to execute concurrently and to provide for
       easier installation and set-up.

     * Support multiple DB2 products -- DataHub adds support for the new
       DB2 Version 2 workstation databases and also supports:
       - DB2/2* Version 1
       - DB2/6000* Version 1
       - DB2 for MVS
       - DB2 for OS/400
       - DB2 for VM
