Notifications are used in two parts of DB2 – Health Center and Task Center. Configuration is pretty simple. Go to Control Center – Task Center – Tools – Contacts and click on SMTP Server button. Fill here the FQDN of your mail server. Then add contacts. After that you can use them during scheduled task configuration on Notifications tab.
To configure Health Center notifications go to Control Center – Health Center – Health Center – Configure – Alert Notification. In Configure Health Alert Notification window select instance and add contacts to Health Notification Contact List.
It may look like this is it. However, there is one issue we ran into. Sometimes DB2 sends emails using just a host name, without the domain part, like db2admin@sqldb2. All modern servers won’t allow sender address not in FQDN format. So we had to add DB2 server IP into white list on our Postfix mail server using check_client_access parameter.
