Administrative views for monitoring

A new set of administrative views are available in the SYSIBMADM schema to extract database monitoring information in a relational table format. Unlike monitoring table functions, administrative views do not require input parameters.

The SYSIBMADM schema holds the built-in monitoring administrative views and it requires one of the following authorizations to run these views:
