Displaying utilities status

Authorities and privileges

To display utility status:

1. Open the Display Utility window.
   
   
2. Click Refresh to show the most recent utility status.
   
   
3. Optional: Restart or terminate utility. Right-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.
     
   • Select Restart and then either Current or Phase to restart a utility that is in a stopped state, and that was originally started using the Control Center. Selecting Current restarts a utility from the last committed point. Selecting Phase restarts a utility from the last committed phase. You can use these menu choices to restart only utilities that were started from the Control Center. If you attempt to restart a utility that was not originally started using the Control Center, you will get an informational message telling you that no restart information was found.
     
     
4. Optional: Show details for the utilities. Right-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.
