DB2 10 for z/OS Database Administrator — Question 46

Which statement regarding event monitors is TRUE?

Answer options

• A. Event monitor data can be reviewed while the event monitor is active
• B. Event monitors must always be started manually after activating a database
• C. Event monitors must write data to .EVT files before the data can be loaded into database tables
• D. Event monitors are used to obtain information about how a database system looks at a specific point in time

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because event monitors indeed require manual initiation after a database is activated. Option A is incorrect as data cannot be reviewed while the monitor is active, and option C is false since data can be captured without writing to .EVT files. Option D is misleading because while event monitors provide information, they do not necessarily capture the state of the system at a specific moment.
