Create IBM Db2 provider for Azure Monitor for SAP solutions

In this how-to guide, you learn how to create an IBM Db2 provider for Azure Monitor for SAP solutions through the Azure portal.

Prerequisites

Create a user for the Db2 server

First, create a new user for your Db2 server for use by Azure Monitor for SAP solutions. Then run the following script to provide the new Db2 user with appropriate permissions. Make sure to replace <username> with the Db2 username.

GRANT SECADM ON DATABASE TO USER <username>;
GRANT DATAACCESS ON DATABASE TO USER <username>;
GRANT ROLE SAPAPP TO USER <username>;

Next, if you don't have an SAPAPP role in your Db2 server, use the following query to create the role.

CREATE ROLE SAPMON;
CREATE ROLE SAPAPP;
CREATE ROLE SAPTOOLS;
GRANT ROLE SAPMON TO ROLE SAPAPP;
GRANT ROLE SAPMON TO ROLE SAPTOOLS;
