Default Parameters for IBMDB2RepLogGpTest

For each database created on the target DB2 UDB database server, this test reports the amount of data that was lost when a switch over happened and the time lag noticed in the transport of logs between the primary and standby databases. Using this test, administrators can accurately estimate the time and amount of data required for the primary and standby databases to be in sync. This will help administrators fine-tune their high availability environment.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the IBMDB2RepLogGpTest.

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

• To monitor Db2 UDB database server, the eG agent should be configured with the credentials of a user with any of the following privileges SYSADM or SYSCTRL> or SYSMAINT or SYSMON. Specify the credentials of such a user in the USER and PASSWORD text boxes. Confirm the Password by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

• The test uses a database on the monitored Db2 UDB server. Specify the name of the database in the DATABASE text box.

• If the database server being monitored is SSL-enabled, then set the SSL flag to Yes. If not, then set the SSL flag to No.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with “$” indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to “xyz*” and $port will be changed to “80” when configuring a test.
