DB2 Connect User's Guide

Administration Utilities

The following utilities are available to help the DB2 Connect administrator:

• The command line processor lets you issue SQL statements against a DRDA server database. It flows the SQL statements to the database that you specify.

• Import and export utilities let you copy data to and from a file on a workstation and a DRDA server database. These files can then be used for importing data into databases, spreadsheets, and other applications running on your workstation.

• The DB2 Connect trace utility lets application developers analyze the flow of the DRDA data stream between the DB2 Connect workstation and the DRDA server database management system.

• The DB2 Control Center lets administrators create and schedule data replication jobs as well as perform other database administration tasks.

• The DB2 Command Center provides a more graphical version of the command line processor.

For more information about these utilities, see Chapter 5. "DB2 Connect Administration Utilities".

In addition, the database system monitor utility lets the system administrator monitor system connections. It also helps the system administrator determine the source of an error. The system administrator can correlate client applications with the corresponding jobs running on the DRDA server. For more information, Chapter 6. "Database System Monitor for DB2 Connect".
