Stackoverflow is for programming questions. But your question is about administration.
Please refer to the "IBM Workload Automation" v9.5 "Planning and Installation Guide" for upgrading information, taking care to ensure your starting point is only the most recent fixpack for the v9.5 build.
See https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/workload-automation/9.5.0?topic=installation-upgrading and all related pages in this category, some studying required, careful planning, rehearse in a non-production environment first.
In general consider upgrading only to the "currently supported" versions of IBM software, if you wish to avail of IBM paid support services.

Currently we are using microstrategy as a reporting tool 11.1 version and using Oracle DB - micro strategy metadata, Statistics , history all installed in Oracle
now we are planning to move Db from Oracle to Postgres. just wanted to check if microstrategy support Potgres DB
Here is the list of certified and supported versions: Repositories
From personal experience I can say PostgreSQL v9,v10 and v11 runs fine as metadata repository. Tested v9-v12 as DWH too, all working without problems.
As far as I remember they didn't deliver the bundled driver in one of the MSTR-versions (2019-something), but that seems to have changed in MSTR-2020 again. Not a showstopper, but something to be aware of.
I am also running PG-11 as repo for History List too, but you definitely won't get help from support for this. OT: They even made me switch from MariaDB to MySQL for a support case (don't really blame them though, it's not certified and that's that).
My last attempt at running Statistics-Repo with PG is a long while ago and it didn't really work out of the box. Don't know what the situation is there. You might have to consider moving to PlatformAnalytics and/or MySQL(/MariaDB) for this too. EM only receives bugfixes from MSTR-2020 onwards, so this seems to be future-proof (EM discontinued from 2020 onwards?)
This mostly reflects our experience, the only certified PG version for MSTR 11.1 is PG-9 and only for the MD-Repo!
I have a little problem with finding a monitoring tool for our DB2 Databases.
We are currently using 10.5 LUW Version of DB2.
If already checked the internet for several hours, but the only tool, which is coming close to our use-case, was updated for the last time in 2009. So could someone give me pls an idea, how to monitor our DB2 databases?
Thank you for your help.
IBM Db2 Data Management Console https://ibm.biz/Db2Console is the next generation of db2 monitoring, previously known as "Data Server Manager".
You can also try dsmtop https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSEPGG_11.1.0/com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.cmd.doc/doc/r0070123.html
If neither of the above suit, please explain more about your particular use-case.
I had the same problem and what I did was to develop my own set of tools. The code is in GitHub and it works with Nagios:

We are planning to upgrade Informatica Powercenter from 9.0.1 to 10.2.0.Below are few queries regarding the upgradation:
1)What would be hardware configuration required for 10.2.0 for the below scenario:
(a)All Informatica services and repository will be in one node
2)To upgrade from 9.0.1 to 10.2.0 ,we would follow this approach: 9.1.0--> 9.6.0 -->10.2.0 .Is it fine?
3)How many servers would be require to perform this upgradation .Do i need 3 servers each for 9.1.0,9.6.0 ,10.2.0 or 1 new server is sufficient to perform this upgradation? If 3 servers are required,what would be the hardware configuration required to perform this installation for each version(9.1.0,9.6.0,10.2.0)?
4)Any document that can be helpful to perform this upgradation smoothly.
Please respond as early as possible.
Thanks,
Piyush Khurana
Go to Informatica support site and go through the upgrade planner
I want to download db2-express-c 10.1 version.
But,there is only db2 express-c 11.1 version in ibm-site . And i don't know why ibm-site has no other version's download site.
Where can i get 10.1 version?
thank you.
IBM only offers a current DB2 Express-C version for download. It is free and has community support, but it only has the current code for download on the IBM website and usually is available some days after the other editions have been GA.
You would need to ask other developers in your community if they still have that image. I would recommend using DB2 11.1 as it has more features and several updates. It is compatible to the V10.1 you have been asking for.
Recently I installed oracle 10g and previously I was working with 9i.I noticed many changes and most intriguing was the pro *c++ was not there.I googled the reason but was not able to find satisfactory results.Why has oracle discontinued its support?Anyone know the exact reasons.
Pro*C/C++ seems to be alive and well even in 11g; Oracle Database Application Development. Though it is a feature of the Oracle client install which I believe is on Disk 2/Companion CD if you have the media, or you can download just the client installer from Oracle Database Software Downloads.
