Hi all

I will like to use DB2TOP for monitoring but have no idea how to install it
on my machines - both windows and linux.
My environment is DB2v8.1 fixpk 16 (windows and Linux) and a DB2v9.5 on a
linux server. I have looked for db2top in the
windows bin directory and could not find it.

I downloaded DB2TOP but find no installation guide or how to activate
instruction.

Can anyone be of assistance in this regard?

Thanks

Okonita

db2top is for UNIX & Linux platforms only: see the Requirements page
[1].

To quote from the Requirements page: "Simply download and run the
appropriate executable file for your platform."

Thank you Dave. Your post got me past the first phase. Now I am stuck trying
to get db2stop to execute. I downloaded the files, decompressed the .tar file,
tried ./db2stop but it did not seem to work. What am I missing here?

I assume you have the correct db2top binary from the tar file. So,
you probably need to make the db2top executable. chmod 755 db2top
Then execute it again.

Thanks Dave...that did the trick...now I get db2top to come up.

As a follow-up, I have more than 1 database on this DB2 Instance and my
question is: Can DB2TOP monitor all databases simultaneously? Can I have
more than 1 instance of db2top monitoring different databases simultaneously?

Thanks
