Specify DB2 Query Patroller database objects

Select Set up a database to use with DB2 Query Patroller to determine which existing database will be managed by DB2 Query Patroller. Select the database that DB2 Query Patroller will manage from Database name. It is recommended that the database partition on which the control data table space resides is the same database partition on which the qpstart command will be issued. It is recommended that this database partition has relatively low workload.

If you want to create a new control data table space, then select New and then click Define. When you click Define a new window appears in which you can specify the values for your new control data table space. The default name for this table space is QPCONTROL. If you want to use an existing control data table space, then select Existing and select the name of the table space from the list. It is recommended that the control data table space resides in a database partition group that contains only one database partition.

If you want to create a new result table space, then select New and then click Define. When you click Define a new window appears in which you can specify the values for your new result table space. The default name for this table space is QPRESULT. If you want to use an existing result table space, then select Existing and select the name of the table space from the list.

Select Defer this task until after installation is complete if you do not want to set up an existing database at this time. You can perform this task after you install DB2 Query Patroller by running the DB2 Setup wizard, or by issuing the qpsetup command at the UNIX® shell prompt with the appropriate command syntax and command parameters, or by issuing the db2isetup command if it is installed on your computer. You might want to defer this task if you need to define a table space for your DB2 Query Patroller control data or results data which uses multiple containers, or if you want to use something other than the default buffer pool.
