Hello everyone, I am new in DB2.

I just test the "Health Center". If I "Quiesce" the database, I can get the alert email. If I stop the instance, I can't get the email which tell me the instance is down.

How to config the health center to send an email when the instance is down.

Thanks a lot,
Steven

you can activate fault monitor to restart the instance - is the mail not shipped by admin server ? the settings are anyhow in admin cfg ..

Thank you very much. That's more info fot the test db.

db2 => get db cfg

the db cfg is not usefull in this case ? any reason for showing this ?
as indicated : use fault monitor and see
