Unix command for Optim Database Administrator

[Database Administrator]

First of all, it doesn't have Solaris version, and it is very hard to
manage the db/dbm options and user's privilege comparing to db2cc, and
so on ...

At first glance, the Visual Explain in Data Studio 2.2 (free one) looks like
a pale imitation of same in CC.

I am the product manager of Data Studio / Optim products and would
also like to hear your opinions and hopefully incorporate them into
future
releases.
Are you looking for a Solaris front-end? There is support for
databases running
on Solaris, but since Data Studio is Eclipse based it only supports
Linux,
Windows, and MAC front-ends.
In terms of db/dbm options, there is support for configuration
parameters, let
me know what it is you don't like about that feature. Same goes for
user
privileges. There are user privileges, but not support for
authorities, so not sure
if that's what you're looking for.
Also, we do have a Data Studio Forum at this link:
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/f...D=1086&start=0
if
you want to discuss Data Studio specifics.

I'm always open to hear suggestions on how we can improve the
product. I know
we have not yet caught up with Control Center, but hearing what's
important from users
will help get it there faster.

Thanks for you input, Deb Jenson

Thanks Deb. I found lots of similar questions in the forum.
So, do you mean Data Studio / Optim products are not possible to be
installed in the UNIX environment even in the future? Actually I'm
trying to encourage my company to purchase the Optim products, but
this will be a big barrier.

Actually our newer performance oriented products will all be browser
based which removes the front-end barrier for us. Our performance
monitor will be the first product to offer this and we'll have more
administrative offerings, probably in 2010, that also use a browser
based interface.

Well, Windows, yes.

Linux is supported IF you are running on a supported OS (RHEL or SLES).
I installed the Standalone version of Data Studio on Ubuntu 8.04 and
had a LOT of problems. And, of course, Mac OS X is not available (even
though Eclipse allows it).


I am hoping that the Linux restrictions are relaxed and Mac OS support
appears in the not-too-distant future.
