Product Overview

Db2 Automation Expert automates Db2 administration tasks, replacing the Db2 Automation Tool. The architecture includes the Automation Engine, Policy Repository, and Monitoring Console. The Automation Engine executes tasks based on policies stored in the Policy Repository.

The Monitoring Console provides a web-based user interface for monitoring and management. The system exposes REST APIs for integration with other systems, enabling programmatic control of automation tasks and retrieval of monitoring data. These APIs use standard HTTP protocols for communication.

The system uses a database to store configuration data, policies, and logs. 509 certificates, and uses role-based access control (RBAC) to manage user permissions. The system employs encryption to protect sensitive data both in transit and at rest.

Competing products include BMC AMI Ops Automation for Db2 and CA Database Management Solutions for Db2. Db2 Automation Expert provides a centralized platform for managing and monitoring Db2 environments, simplifying administration and improving visibility.
