DB2 trace usage with Sysview for Db2 Data Collector

Products

• SYSVIEW Performance Management Option for DB2 for z/OS

Issue/Introduction

If Db2 starts a trace, will Sysview for Db2 for z/OS (IDB2) be able to use that trace instead of starting its own trace.

Resolution

If Db2 starts a trace similar to the one required by online IDB2, IDB2 will still need to start its own traces.
In starting its own traces, it uses the OPx destination and has its own unique id associated with these traces.
Each different program user of a Db2 OPx destination trace will have its own unique identifier for its traces.
