Currently the following monitoring application are supported for IBM DB2 for LUW databases:
| Task | Actions |
|---|---|
Install database Install IBM DB2 for LUW 9.7 or higher | You need at least IBM DB2 for LUW 9.7, optionally install the latest IBM DB2 for LUW 9.7 and latest Patches from support.sap.com/swdc -> Databases -> DB2 |

| Check the "db2greg" executable availability | Optional operation The DB2 plugin of the SAP Host Agent calls the db2greg executable to detect installed IBM DB2 databases. This Plugin needs to be present on the filesystem, otherwise no IBM database can be detected by the SAP Host Agent during Outside Discovery Execution. Search sequence is /db2/%3[A-Z0-9]/sqllib/bin/db2greg Note: %3[A-Z0-9] is the pattern for <SID>. Check that the "db2greg" plugin is properly deployed to this directory by SAP and IBM Standard (depending on version and product) for managed Systems on IBM DB2 or Standalone IBM DB2 with SAP Focused Run. |
| Check returned database properties | Optional operation From the hostctrl exe folder execute: saphostctrl -function GetDatabaseProperties -dbname <DBSID> -dbtype db6 Web method returned successfully: Database/DBRelease=09.07.xxxx |
