Overview

IBM DB2 Tools for z/OS extends a special welcome to DB2 customers who have SAP ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) solutions, such as R/3 and mySAP ERP running on a System z machine dedicated to the SAP ERP environment. SAP provides a set of basic monitoring and management functions for the portion of DB2 supporting your SAP environment. IBM DB2 Tools now deliver the capability to manage your SAP ERP environment, in addition to the technological leadership that they bring to your data center today.
