db2diag log analysis tool

db2diag is one file which gives clues to error that might have occurred to database.
But instead of going to db2diag file we can run a command from CLP to see the error messages and info about any specific SQL error code.

It is the log analysis tool and it allows you to search, filter, and format the DB2 diagnostic logs. One of the simple examples is that I wanted to see when errors or warnings were produced on my test system. I could do that by calling:

db2diag -l Error,Warning -fmt "%ts %level %db"

sample output:
2010-02-09-13.46.24.828000 Error XXLIC_DB
2010-02-09-13.46.24.828000 Error XXLIC_DB
2010-02-09-13.46.25.046000 Warning XXLIC_DB
2010-02-09-13.46.25.062000 Warning XXLIC_DB
2010-02-09-13.46.25.093000 Warning XXLIC_DB

The output is much quicker to digest than the diagnostic itself.

what I have been upto recently...

This is the first entry in 2010..must say being regular with blog is something I need to prioritize as this is not only a way to share the knowledge and experience which many can find useful but can be very handy to place important stuff which I can come back to refer....
for the past month I have been traveling to many database sites and making migration, version upgrade and other fine tuning tasks...
Troubleshooting is one thing that we come across often so I m going do dedicate one post for that.

Tryst with Warehousing

I have been working on IBM Infosphere Warehouse 9.5 for some time now.
Let me admit that I struggled to start with this as I didn't have any official training with Warehouse all I knew about it from my one semester course in Warehouse which I studied during my MCA class and a very senior professor took the class and I was hooked to this subject however I had no idea one day I would be working on it.
I think Its a cool technology and one of the most sought after IT field as actionable information is key to have a competitive edge for any organization.
I have to say I don't find too many contents on internet particularly on IBM DWH.However redbooks and some article on developerworks are quite good it still won't help you much if you r a fresher in DWH.
I remember in college I read Paul raj Poonia book which was quite good in theory but as for the hands-on you need something more to be able to work on it.
I hope I could enhance my skill on working with DWH even without training, but it requires a lot of work.
I m ready to roll up my sleeves and lay my hands dirty!

hugs,
Rakesh

Rambling about DB2

This is my personal Diary about DB2 and I intend this to be a reference point abt what I did about a particular situation in managing Data.
I don't want to write a very authentic or original articles on DB2. For that we have plenty of websites and blogs out there.
I am relatively new to DB2 and the database for that matter.It just happened in my previous organization where my employer asked me to learn about DB2 and then I didn't knew that I would take it seriously.But Now as it happens all I know whatever about IT, is limited to database and DB2.
