Getting started with the Web Health Center
Use the Web version of the Health Center to monitor the health of remote
databases. This is particularly useful for database administrators and experienced
users who need to be able to work with the database at any time, from any place.
The Web version of the Health Center includes a subset of the features of the full
Health Center. You can view the active alerts for an instance, view the details,
history, and resolution recommendations for an alert, and apply some
recommendations through the Web version of the Command Center.
To access the DB2 server, you use an HTML 4.0-compliant Web browser that runs
on any computing device from a desktop computer to a Personal Digital Assistant
(PDA). The browser is a client, which communicates with a middle-tier application
server. The application server communicates with the DB2 server. Secure Socket
Layer (SSL), the same technology that is used for most Internet banking and secure
e-commerce transactions, is used for all communication.
