Detector executing on same Db2 subsystem as IBM Query monitor

• Detector for DB2 for z/OS

Issue/Introduction

Is it possible to run IBM Query Monitor and Detector for Db2 for z/OS on the same system?

Resolution

The COMPAT option, which is specified in the hlq.CDBAPARM(PDT) member, should be set to (Y). The default value is (N).
Please note the explanation in PDT member:

 

COMPAT      (N)      /* Start Detector collections using an         */

                     /* alternate collection method that will allow */

                     /* Detector to run with other vendor's DB2     */

                     /* monitoring products.                        */

                     /* COMPAT (Y) should only be selected if       */

                     /* Detector has attempted to start a           */

                     /* collection and abended with a U120, or if   */

                     /* known conflicts exist between Detector      */

                     /* and other vendor's products.                */

                     /* Y - Yes, start Detector collections in      */

                     /*     third-party compatibility mode.         */

                     /* N - No, do not start Detector collections   */

                     /*     in third-party compatibility mode.      */

                     /*     display.                                */

 

It would be best to start Query Monitor first, followed by Detector, and stop them in the reverse order.
