Diagnostic Tools for Windows Version 3.1 and Windows 95

The following diagnostic tools are available for Windows Version 3.1 and Windows 95 operating systems:

Dr. Watson
The Dr. Watson utility is invoked in the event of a General Protection Fault (GPF). It logs data that may help in diagnosing a problem, and saves this information to a file. You must start this utility explicitly by typing drwatson on the command line.

System tools
For Windows 95, system information on memory allocation, hardware, and devices is available from the System icon in the Control Panel.

DB2-supplied tools
For Windows 95 sessions, DB2 supplies administrative and development tools to help you identify DB2 problems. For example, use the Snapshot Monitor to identify bottlenecks. See "Using DB2-Supplied Tools".

DB2 traces
DB2 traces provide some information on reproducible problems. See Chapter 10. "Taking Traces".

ODBC/CLI traces
CLI traces help to identify problems in CLI and ODBC applications. See "Taking a CLI/ODBC/JDBC Trace" for information.
