Tivoli Data Warehouse solution using DB2 on z/OS
Use the information and instructions in this chapter to implement a Tivoli Data Warehouse solution using mainframe-based DB2 running on z/OS as your warehouse database.
The following table lists the goals for creating a DB2 on z/OS solution.
Goals for creating a Tivoli Data Warehouse solution using DB2 on z/OS
Goal Where to find information Review your options, specific to a DB2 on z/OS solution, for operating system platforms and communications between warehousing components. Supported components Install prerequisite software before implementing the Tivoli Data Warehouse solution. Prerequisite installation Understand how to use the instructions for implementing the Tivoli Data Warehouse solution. Implementing a Tivoli Data Warehouse solution using DB2 on z/OS Complete the steps for implementing the Tivoli Data Warehouse solution using DB2 on z/OS for the data warehouse.
Step 1: Connect the Warehouse Proxy node to your DB2 on z/OS database
Step 2: Configure the Tivoli Data Warehouse agents
- Supported components
The diagram in this section summarizes the supported operating system platforms for the various warehousing components, the supported database products, and the connections between components.
- Prerequisite installation
Before you implement the Tivoli Data Warehouse solution, complete one or more hub installations, including the warehousing components (see the appropriate chapter within this section for the necessary installation instructions).
- Implementing a Tivoli Data Warehouse solution using DB2 on z/OS
Use the instructions in the remainder of this chapter to implement a Tivoli Data Warehouse solution using DB2 on z/OS version 9.1 (or subsequent) as your data warehouse.
- Step 1: Connect the Warehouse Proxy node to your DB2 on z/OS database
On the IBM Tivoli Monitoring node running the Warehouse Proxy Agent, invoke the DB2 Client Configuration Assistant from the DB2 Control Center.
- Step 2: Configure the Tivoli Data Warehouse agents
To enable storage of IBM Tivoli Monitoring historical data in the Tivoli Data Warehouse database on z/OS, you need to perform the installation procedures for the Warehouse Proxy Agent and the Summarization and Pruning Agent.
- Test the database connection using the DB2 Control Center
This section illustrates using the DB2 Control Center to test the database connection.
- Test the database connection using the DB2 command-line processor
This section illustrates using the DB2 command-line processor to test the database connection.
- Scenario: Connecting a Tivoli Data Warehouse solution using DB2 on z/OS to a Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server running z/OS
This scenario covers both Windows and UNIX/Linux machines. All agent configuration windows in this scenario should point to the hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server on z/OS.
