Hi,
I would like to administer an IBM DB2 instance using a web browser. I have combed a lot of places and have not found a solution. (forums, IBM site, Google, Quest.com etc).
The DAS (Database Administration Server) seems to communicate via tcp/ip on port 50000. Since my DB2 host is behind a firewall, port 50000 is not open. I cannot use port 80, the port guaranteed to be open for http traffic since it would block my regular web traffic. Since the protocol is some proprietary tcp/ip based protocol that is another issue.
I am currently running the "control center" on the local host and using X11 protocols to direct the UI to my host. Needless to say, it is incredibly slow. If I am not mistaken X11 actually sends the images back. It is not like SVG or X3D. It is inefficient.
On Googling, I found this thing called "Technology Explorer". http://sourceforge.net/projects/db2mc/. It did'nt appear to be a complete product. It's a bunch of php based scripts.
So, it is quite puzzling that mighty IBM does'nt have a well developed, supported product for administering the DB via the web. Sigh !!!
