Displaying utilities status

Use the Display Utilities window to show the current status of any running utilities jobs. The window is divided into two parts. The top part of the window is a list of the running utilities. The bottom part of the window shows the result of a display output, which is a series of DSNU... informational messages.

Authorities and privileges

To display utility status:

  1. Open the Display Utilities window.

  2. Click Refresh to show the most recent utility status.

  3. Optional: Click on one or more utilities to display a pop-up menu. Select Terminate utility to open the Terminate Utility confirmation window to terminate the selected utility. When you terminate a utility you terminate the execution of a DB2 utility job step and release all resources associated with the step. When executing, a utility does not terminate until it checks to see that a terminate command was issued. Active utilities perform this check periodically. If the utility is stopped, all its resources are released by a terminate command. An active utility can be terminated only from the DB2 on which it is running. Once you have terminated a utility, it cannot be restarted. You must resubmit the utility by selecting the utility from the appropriate object's pop-up menu.

  4. Optional: Click on one or more utilities to display a pop-up menu. Select Show Details to open the Show Details window to show details of the selected utility
