Diagnostic Tools for Windows 95 and Windows 98

The following diagnostic tools are available for Windows 95 and Windows 98 operating systems:

Dr. Watson

The Dr. Watson utility is invoked in the event of a General Protection Fault (GPF). It logs data that may help in diagnosing a problem, and saves this information to a file. You must start this utility explicitly by typing drwatson on the command line.

System tools

For Windows 95 and Windows 98, system information on memory allocation, hardware, and devices is available from the System icon in the Control Panel.

DB2-supplied tools

For Windows 95 and Windows 98 sessions, DB2 supplies administrative and development tools to help you identify DB2 problems. For more information, see Using DB2-Supplied Tools.

DB2 traces

DB2 traces provide some information on reproducible problems. For more information, see Chapter 16, Traces.

ODBC/CLI traces

CLI traces help to identify problems in CLI and ODBC applications. For more information, see the CLI Guide and Reference manual.
