Navigating between database, node, and instance home pages

Navigating between database, partition, and instance home pages and drilldowns

Using the Spotlight browser, you can easily navigate between the home pages and drilldowns for the various databases and database partitions that you are monitoring.

Spotlight also provides the option to view the home page and associated drilldowns for the DB2 instance to which the database or partition currently selected in the Spotlight browser belongs. At the instance-level, the home page and drilldowns display an aggregate of performance information captured across all active databases in the DB2 instance.

To open the home page or drilldown for another DB2 database or partition

• From the Spotlight browser, select the name of the database or partition that you want to monitor. The home page or drilldown is redisplayed , showing performance information for the system you selected.

Any other drilldown you open from this home page or from the toolbar will show performance information for this selected database or partition.

To open the home page for the DB2 instance to which a database or database partition belongs

• With the database or database partition selected in the Spotlight browser, click the DB2 Instance button in the Spotlight toolbar.

The instance home page is displayed, showing performance information for the DB2 instance to which the database or database partition selected in Spotlight browser belongs. Any drilldown you open from this home page (or from the toolbar) will show performance information captured across all active databases in the instance.

To switch from the instance home page or drilldown back to the database- or partition-level home page

• Click the button in the Spotlight tool bar.

The home page for the database or database partition that is highlighted in the Spotlight browser (and from which you launched the instance home page) is redisplayed . Any drilldown you open from this home page (or from the toolbar) will now show performance information for this database or partition.
