Starts the event analyzer, allowing the user to trace
performance data produced by DB2® event
monitors that have their data directed to tables.
Important: This command
has been deprecated and might be removed in a future release because
the Control Center and its associated components have been deprecated
in Version 9.7. It is not supported in
DB2 pureScale® environments.
For more information, see Control Center tools have been
deprecated.

Command syntax
>>-db2eva--+------------------------+--+-------------------+---><
'- -db-- -database-alias-' '- -evm--evmon-name-'
Command parameters
The db2eva parameters
are optional. If you do not specify parameters, the Open Event Analyzer
dialog box appears to prompt you for the database and event monitor
name.
- -db database-alias
- Specifies the name of the database defined for the event monitor.
- -evm evmon-name
- Specifies the name of the event monitor whose traces are to be
analyzed.
Usage notes
Without the required access,
the user cannot retrieve any event monitor data.
There are
two methods for retrieving event monitor traces:
- The user can enter db2eva from the command
line and the Open Event Analyzer Dialog box opens to let the user
choose the database and event monitor names from the drop-down lists
before clicking OK to open the Event Analyzer dialog box.
- The user can specify the -db and -evm parameters
from the command line and the Event Analyzer dialog opens on the
specified database.
The Event Analyzer connects to the database,
and issues a select target from SYSCAT.EVENTTABLES to get the event
monitor tables. The connection is then released after the required
data has been retrieved.
The event analyzer can be used to
analyze the data produced by an active event monitor. However, event
monitor captured after the event analyzer has been invoked might not
be shown. Turn off the event monitor before invoking the Event Analyzer
to ensure data are properly displayed.
