Migrating from the InfoSphere Optim Query Tuner client to the IBM Data Studio full client, Version 3.1.1

In previous versions of IBM InfoSphere Optim Query Workload Tuner, the client application was the InfoSphere® Optim™ Query Tuner client. This client is not supported for IBM® InfoSphere Optim Query Workload Tuner, Version 3.1.1. If you want to continue to use the Query Tuner projects that you worked with in the InfoSphere Optim Query Tuner client, you must export them. Then, install the IBM Data Studio full client into the package group where the InfoSphere Optim Query Tuner client is located.

About this task

The IBM Data Studio full client, Version 3.1.1 allows you to connect to DB2® databases and subsystems where licenses for IBM InfoSphere Optim Query Workload Tuner, Version 3.1 or 3.1.1 are active, and to use the full set of features for tuning queries and query workloads.

If you install the license activation kit for either IBM InfoSphere Optim Query Workload Tuner for DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows, Version 3.1.1 or IBM InfoSphere Optim Query Workload Tuner for DB2 for z/OS®, Version 3.1.1 together with the IBM Data Studio full client, Version 3.1.1, you can activate licenses for those products on DB2 databases and subsystems. Activating a license on a DB2 database or subsystem allows anybody with access and who is using IBM Data Studio full client or administration client, Version 3.1.1 to use the full set of features for tuning queries and query workloads.
