Roadmap for installing IBM Optim Query Tuner for DB2 for z/OS and configuring a DB2 subsystem for query tuning

Use this roadmap as an overview for the tasks to install IBM® Optim™ Query Tuner for DB2® for z/OS® and to configure a DB2 for z/OS subsystem for the Optim Query Tuner client.

Before you begin

About this task

The installation of Optim Query Tuner for DB2 for z/OS affects two locations, a DB2 subsystem and a client system. On the subsystem, you need to perform the SMP/E tape installation to extract the license file and the files for configuration, and then activate the product license. On the client system, you need to install the Optim Query Tuner client. After the installation, configure the subsystem to enable the facilities and objects for the client.

Procedure

To install Optim Query Tuner for DB2 for z/OS and configure DB2 for z/OS subsystems for query tuning:

Note: Steps 1 and 2 can be done in any order or concurrently.

  1. On each subsystem, activate the product license:
  2. On the client system, install the current version of the Optim Query Tuner client. The steps differ depending on whether a previous version or a beta version is installed.
    Option Description
    Neither a previous version nor a beta version is installed Install the client.
    A beta version is installed
    1. Optional: Export your existing user data from the beta version. See Exporting projects, SQL categories, filters, and database connection profiles from the Optim Query Tuner client.
    2. Uninstall the beta version.
    3. Install the current version.
    A previous version is installed
    1. Optional: Export your existing user data from the previous version. See Exporting projects, SQL categories, filters, and database connection profiles from the Optim Query Tuner client.
    2. Upgrade the client to the current version.
  3. After the client is installed, verify the product license.
  4. Configure each DB2 for z/OS subsystem for query tuning either from the client or the server:
  5. If you have data from a previous version or a beta version, import the data. See Importing projects, SQL categories, filters, and database connection profiles.

What to do next

To start tuning in the workflow assistant for query tuning:
  1. Open the Optim Query Tuner client.
  2. In the Data Source Explorer, connect to the subsystem.
  3. Right-click the connection and click Start Tuning.
