-partitioned

If specified, elements that are only applicable for a partitioned database environment are also generated.

-evm event-monitor-name

event type

Any of the event types available on the FOR clause of the CREATE EVENT MONITOR statement. The values possible are:

ACTIVITIES
BUFFERPOOLS
CONNECTIONS
CHANGE HISTORY
DATABASE
DEADLOCKS (also DEADLOCKS WITH DETAILS, DEADLOCKS WITH DETAILS HISTORY, DEADLOCKS WITH DETAILS HISTORY VALUES)^*
LOCKING
PACKAGE CACHE
STATEMENTS
STATISTICS
TABLES
TABLESPACES
THRESHOLD VIOLATIONS
TRANSACTIONS^*
UNIT OF WORK

Examples

db2evtbl -schema smith -evm test01 database, tables, tablespaces, bufferpools

Usage notes

Output is written to standard output.

Defining WRITE TO TABLE event monitors is more straightforward when using the db2evtbl tool. For example, the following steps can be followed to define and activate an event monitor.

Use db2evtbl to generate the CREATE EVENT MONITOR statement.
Edit the SQL statement, removing any unwanted columns.
Use the CLP to process the SQL statement. (When the CREATE EVENT MONITOR statement is executing, target tables are created.)
Issue SET EVENT MONITOR STATE to activate the new event monitor.

Since all events other than deadlock event monitors can be flushed, creating more than one record per event, users who do not use the FLUSH EVENT MONITOR statement can leave the element evmon_flushes out of any target tables.

When a LOCKING, UNIT OF WORK or PACKAGE CACHE event monitor is among the event monitors to be created, the DDL produced by db2evtbl creates regular, not UE tables.
