The client can be any computing device that supports an HTML 4.0-compliant Web browser. The browser does not need to support Java, JavaScript, or cookies. The middle tier must have DB2 Web Tools installed. DB2 Web Tools requires an application server, such as IBM WebSphere® or BEA WebLogic.

If you are the database administrator of a large center, you could use the Web tools as follows:

vWhile you are away from the office, attending a conference, you receive an urgent message on your PDA about a database problem.

vUsing the PDA, you securely log on to a portal where DB2 Web Tools is installed.

vYou use the Web versions of the Health Center and the Command Center to investigate the problem.

vYou use the Web version of the Command Center to execute SQL, DB2, and OS commands that fix the problem.

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.

The client can be any computing device that supports an HTML 4.0-compliant Web browser. The browser does not need to support Java, JavaScript, or cookies. The middle tier must have DB2 Web Tools installed. DB2 Web Tools requires an application server, such as IBM WebSphere or BEA WebLogic.
