The CD-ROM/ftp structure and size of the decompressed images: ./README.TXT (this file) ./aix/db2pe.fp2.aix.tar.gz containing README.TXT db2pe.fp2.install-on-aix client installation db2pesrv.fp2.install-on-aix server installation ./win/db2pe.fp2.win.zip containing README.TXT db2pe.fp2.install-on-win.exe client installation db2pesrv.fp2.install-on-win.exe server installation 3.0 HOW TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL DB2 PERFORMANCE EXPERT 1. Change the directory to the (CD-ROM-) directory for the platform of your choice. If you are using a product CD, continue with number 4. 2. Download the package into a temporary directory of your choice. Ensure that you have at least 150 MB of free space for the unzipped and decompressed product. 3. Decompress the package of files for the platform of your choice, if necessary. 4. To install the product refer to the README file in the package for the corresponding instructions. 5. Download the documentation for the product from http://www.ibm.com/software/data/db2imstools/library.html. 3.1 Known problems/restrictions 3.2 Hints and Tips The DB2 instance monitored: --------------------------- IBM DB2 Performance Expert for LAN platforms (Performance Expert) monitors DB2 instances. An instance can contain several databases. During server installation, you are asked to define a user group for authorization purposes. We recommend, you define a group named DB2PE and put all users (servers and clients) into that group. Define that user group before installing Performance Expert. In the client "System Overview" window, you must configure one entry per instance to be monitored. The instance name at the client, is usually different from the instance name on the server, this is because instance names on different hardware boxes can be the same, but must be unique in the client's "System Overview" definition. DB2 or DB2INST1 is often used as instance name on a server. The Client Connection definition -------------------------------- If a remote server is to be monitored, you must configure a client connection before you can define the remote instance in the Performance Expert client's "System Overview" window. The best way is to use the Client Configuration Assistant provided by DB2 (CCA). You have to provide the following information: 1. The server's DB name: DB2PM (do not change this) 2. The DB Alias name : any name of your choice, This must be unique on the client! 3. The DB2 port of the server: normally 50000 (ask the administrator). You need this only if you choose Manual Configuration in CCA. To be able to check the connection at definition time and to monitor the server from that client, you must have a valid userid on the server with the privileges of the DB2-group configured on the server at installation time. We recommend to have a group, DB2PE, defined at the server. The "Instances" definition within Performance Exp. client --------------------------------------------------------- To get monitoring access to a DB2 Instance on a server, you must define the server's instance in the Performance Expert client "System Overview" window. To do this, you have to define the instance as described. But regard the following two definitions: The name "DB2 Instance Alias" in the second page of the "New DB2 System" definition dialog is a name, invented by you for the new instance. It must be unique in your "System Overview" window. You should not confuse this name with other DB2 aliases. The entry field "Database alias" is the DB2 alias, that you've defined before, using the Client Configuration Assistant. 4.0 OBTAINING SOFTWARE TO UNZIP THE COMPRESSED FILES Most Window-based packages are compressed with PKZIP and most UNIX packages are compressed with GUNZIP. o You can download PKZIP from http://www.pkware/com/downloads/ o You can download GUNZIP from http://www.gzip.org/ 5.0 NOTICES This information was developed for products and services offered in the U.S.A.
