database connectivity (ODBC), and is available on systems running Netfinity Manager for OS/2, Windows 95, or Windows NT. If the system supports ODBC, the user can access and export DB2 data through ODBC as well. Once support for one or more of these databases has been installed along with Netfinity Manager, data can be exported from these Netfinity Manager services: • Alert Manager • Software Inventory • System Information Tool • System Profile • System Monitor Information on how to install and configure support for database export follows. • If support for DB2 database export is being installed, see "DB2 database support". • If support for Lotus Notes database export is being installed, see "Lotus Notes database support" on page 124. • If support for ODBC database export is being installed, see "ODBC database support" on page 126. DB2 database support Support for DB2 database export is automatically configured during installation of the Netfinity Manager. However, the database system itself must be configured. Instructions for configuring the database follow. A raw data dump to a file is also available and will run without a database. System requirements Netfinity Manager DB2 database export is supported on systems running Netfinity Manager for OS/2, Netfinity Manager for Windows 95, Netfinity Manager for Windows 98, and Netfinity Manager for Windows NT. For more information about supported version numbers refer to Table 22 on page 129 and Table 23 on page 131. Attention: Using Netfinity Manager database support with systems running unsupported versions of DB2 or the DB2 Client might cause unpredictable results and might halt the system. See the DB2 Installation Guide for general requirements and supported protocols. Installing and configuring the database The following information describes the steps to install and configure the DB2 database. Note: If your primary system is OS/2, refer to "Installing the database on OS/2" on page 121. 1. Start a DB2 command window. Note: If it is not already running, start the DB2 database manager. 2.
