    DMC Console is working for me on Windows 10 and Ubuntu; DSM is not connectable from browser on Windows 10 and coredumps on Ubuntu.
    Versions:
    DMC: 3.1.11
    DSM: 2.1.5

    Are those versions current?

    Hello Jan,

    Yes, those are the current latest versions available.

    DMC V3.1.12 will be released soon.

    DSM is currently out of support for LUW databases, however coredumps usually are generated by DSM/DMC when you are hitting out of memory errors, specially based on the number of monitored databases.  You can try to check your configuration according to the following Technote:

    https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/data-server-manager-dsm-server-reports-out-memory-errors

    I hope that helps!

    I was not precise - starting dsweb in DSM caused java dumps; strangely DMC started dsweb without any glitches ...

    So DMC is the only supported monitoring tool for Db2 LUW?
    In what environments/platforms DSM is still supported?

    Hello Jan,

    I just checked, DMC V3.1.12 is available today for download.

    DSM still has some limited support for z/OS databases.   DMC does not support z/OS databases.

    I hope that answers your questions!

    Hello Jan,

    I am checking with our internal team about that.

    Mean while, please use IBM Fix Central to download the file for now.

    I don't want to annoy you but IBM Fix Central has only signature for DMC 3.1.12 :-)

    Unfortunately - no:

    I am accessing Fix Central with this link: http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral

    I am using my personal IBM Id.

    When selecting IBM Db2 Data Management Console and Windows 64-bit and Version 3.1.12.0 I am able to download only SIG file; moreover when selecting All Version -I noticed that 3.1.11.0 version is missing.
