How can I installed DB2TOP on my windows or Linux?

Hi all

I will like to use DB2TOP for monitoring but have no idea how to install it
on my machines - both windows and linux.
My environment is DB2v8.1 fixpk 16 (windows and Linux) and a DB2v9.5 on a
linux server. I have looked for db2top in the
windows bin directory and could not find it.

I downloaded DB2TOP but find no installation guide or how to activate
instruction.

Can anyone be of assistance in this regard?

Thanks

Okonita

db2top is for UNIX & Linux platforms only: see the Requirements page
[1].
I downloaded DB2TOP but find no installation guide or how to activate
instruction.
To quote from the Requirements page: "Simply download and run the
appropriate executable file for your platform."

Thank you Dave. Your post got me past the first phase. Now I am stuck trying
to get db2stop to execute. I downloaded the files, decompressed the .tar file,
tried ./db2stop but it did not seem to work. What am I missing here?

I assume you have the correct db2top binary from the tar file. So,
you probably need to make the db2top executable. chmod 755 db2top
Then execute it again.

Thanks Dave...that did the trick...now I get db2top to come up.

As a follow-up, I have more than 1 database on this DB2 Instance and my
question is: Can DB2TOP monitor all databases simultaneously? Can I have
more than 1 instance of db2top monitoring different databases simultaneously?

Thanks

Actually it was Ian that solved your permissions problem ;-) Anyway,
glad it's working now. As for monitoring all databases - I haven't used
it, but a quick read of the manual suggests one instance of db2top
monitors one database. So, given there don't appear to be any warnings
about not running more than instance, I'd say give it a try!
Cheers,

Dave.

Indeed, you can run multiple copies of db2top at the same time
(monitoring different databases).

One other comment: Although there is no db2top binary for Windows,
db2top will allow you to monitor remote databases. So, you can run
db2top on your Linux server, and attach to a Windows instance/database.
(See the -n option, along with -u)
