Use the Create New Tools Catalog window to create the DB2® tools catalog on a cataloged system
that currently has no metadata storage. The tools catalog is a set
of tables in a database that is used by the Task Center to store task
definitions, schedules, and task history information.
About this task
You can choose to use an existing database or create a new
one. Creating this database also enables Task Center, which provides
support for a more complex scheduling scheme for managing different
tasks and scripts.
- Open the Create New Tools Catalog window: Click Create New from
the Enabling Scheduling Function group box of your current
window, wizard, or notebook. For instance, click Create New from
the Schedule page of the Tools Settings notebook.
- Select the instance where the tools catalog is to be created,
and type the tools catalog schema name.
- Specify whether to create a new database or use an existing one.
- Select whether to force all applications for instance restart
and whether to activate the tools catalog when it is created.
Troubleshooting tips
If you receive a -567
return code when trying to create a new tools catalog, try running
the db2admin setid command and stop and start the
DAS. This error indicates that an invalid user ID or password has
been submitted.
