15 Adding your own examples to Run SQL Scripts 1) Add the following comments to the top of your favorite Run SQL Script. -- category: Demo Scripts -- description: Demonstrate Guardium Database Activity Monitor -- 2) Save the script to the following path. -- C:\Users\<your-user>\Documents\IBM\iAccessClient\RunSQLScripts\Examples 3) Find your script with Search or via the Examples pane. 30 Directing traffic to ACS s Run SQL Scripts 31 15

17 System Management of Navigator All the Navigators utilize server jobs These server jobs can be: 1. Managed Position certain users or groups to run in alternate subsystems, where system resources are configured accordingly 2. Locked down Denying access to certain users, groups, etc 3. Controlled Establish query governor controls to protect overconsumption of resources Admin stuff Run SQL Scripts & other database features Admin stuff 34 SET_SERVER_SBS_ROUTING Manage ACS users Avoid having all users run in QUSRWRK, with the same priority Configurable by user or group by server name or all servers Choice of whether the connection fails if the target subsystem is not available -- Description: Reposition all Navigator users into a -- controlled subsystem and do not allow -- connections to fall-over into the default -- subsystem (QUSRWRK or QSERVER) if the -- INAVGRP subsystem cannot be used CALL QSYS2.SET_SERVER_SBS_ROUTING( AUTHORIZATION_NAME => INAVGRP, SERVER_NAME => ALL, SUBSYSTEM_NAME => INAVSBS, ALLOW_ROLLOVER => NO );

18 Host Server Exit Programs Locked down Denying access to certain users, groups, etc Establish exit programs to deploy business rules 36 Query Governor Controlled Establish query governor controls to protect overconsumption of resources Use the Change Query Attributes (CHGQRYA) command to guard against over-consumption of resources related to SQL query execution The governor has two controls: 1. The estimated runtime for a query. 2. The estimated temporary storage consumption for a query
