DB2 Messages Workspace

The DB2 Messages workspace displays messages that can help you identify problems with your DB2 system.

This workspace is comprised of the following views:

Note: Not all messages are written to the message log. DISPLAY commands, for example, are filtered out and are not shown in the log.

Based on the information that this workspace provides, you can recommend changes, set up situations, and verify that your recommended changes improve system performance.

Note: By default DB2 messages are not collected. If you want to collect DB2 messages, use the Configuration Tool and select: Monitoring Profile configuration –> Additional configuration settings. If you configure it to YES, the DB2 message subtask is started during DB2 instance initialization.
To start or stop DB2 message collection manually, specify the following:
F <cccccccc>,F PESERVER,F<db2>,DB2MSGMON=<p>
where:
cccccccc

db2
Identifies the DB2 name.
p
Enter Y to start or N to stop the message subtask.
If you do not see any DB2 messages, check if the DB2 message subtask is started from the OMEGAMON Collector started task.
