System Monitor Guide and Reference

sqlmrset - Reset Monitor

Resets the database system monitor data of a specified database, or of all active databases, for the application issuing the call.

Scope

This API only affects the node on which it is issued.

Authorization

One of the following:

• sysadm

• sysctrl

• sysmaint

Required Connection

Instance or database:

• If there is neither an attachment to an instance, nor a connection to a database, a default instance attachment is created.

• If there is both an attachment to an instance, and a database connection, the instance attachment is used.

To reset the monitor switches for a remote instance (or a different local instance), it is necessary to first attach to that instance.

C API Syntax

/* File: sqlmon.h */ /* API: Reset Monitor */ /* ... */ int SQL_API_FN sqlmrset ( unsigned long version, _SQLOLDCHAR *reserved, unsigned long reset_all, _SQLOLDCHAR *db_alias, struct sqlca *sqlca); /* ... */

Generic API Syntax

/* File: sqlmon.h */ /* API: Reset Monitor */ /* ... */ int SQL_API_FN sqlgmrst ( unsigned short dbnamel, unsigned long reserved_lgth, struct sqlca *sqlca, _SQLOLDCHAR *db_alias, unsigned long reset_all, _SQLOLDCHAR *reserved, unsigned long version); /* ... */

API Parameters

dbnamel

Input. A 2-byte unsigned integer representing the length in bytes of the database alias.

reserved_lgth

Reserved for future use. Users should set this value to zero.

sqlca

Output. A pointer to the sqlca structure.

db_alias

Input. The name that is used to reference the database.

If SQLM_ON is specified for the reset_all parameter, this alias is ignored, and the data areas for all active databases are reset.

reset_all

Input. Indicates whether to reset data areas for a specific database, or for all active databases. Set this parameter to one of the following (defined in sqlmon):

SQLM_OFF

Resets data areas for a specific database.

SQLM_ON

Resets data areas for all active databases.

reserved

Reserved for future use. Must be set to NULL.

version

Input. Version ID of the database monitor data to collect. The database monitor only returns data that was available for the requested version. Set this parameter to one of the following symbolic constants:

• SQLM_DBMON_VERSION1

• SQLM_DBMON_VERSION2

• SQLM_DBMON_VERSION5

• SQLM_DBMON_VERSION5_2

• SQLM_DBMON_VERSION6

Note:

If SQLM_DBMON_VERSION1 is specified as the version, the APIs cannot be run remotely.

Sample Programs

C

\sqllib\samples\c\db2mon.c

Usage Notes

Each process (attachment) has its own private view of the monitor data. If one user resets, or turns off a monitor switch, other users are not affected. When an application first calls any database monitor function, it inherits the default switch settings from the database manager configuration file . These settings can be overridden with sqlmon - Get/Update Monitor Switches.

If all active databases are reset, some database manager information is also reset to maintain the consistency of the data that is returned.

This API cannot be used to selectively reset specific data items or specific monitor groups. However, a specific group can be reset by turning its switch off, and then on, using sqlmon - Get/Update Monitor Switches.
