alarms setting have disappeared completely, all settings are cleared... after re-opening Spoltight
bug
The correct step to prevent this to happen is to save the modified alarms/thresholds setting as a new template before exiting (after setting up alarms) Spotlight on DB2.
Here are the steps:
1. click the 'File' menu, then 'Save As Template...'.
2. please note to not to change the folder path in the dialog, becasue it is default location that Spotlight on DB2 loads the user defined templates.
3. the newly saved template will automatically attach to the current DB2 connection, when the connection opens again, the template will be loaded automatically
Unfortunately, there is a bug in 6.8.1.15, Spotlight still load the default template even a new template is saved. But this bug is already fixed in 6.8.2 version.
So before you would upgrade to the 6.8.2, here is the workaround:
1. Rename or backup the Spotlight on DB2 default template in C:\Program Files\Quest Software\Spotlight\Console\Templates\SoDB2Drilldowns.stx
2. Copy the newly saved template to C:\Program Files\Quest Software\Spotlight\Console\Templates and rename it to SoDB2Drilldowns.stx.
