If you use putty in your daily exploits, then you may find the Putty Connection Manager to be a useful addition. Putty Connection Manager is a wrapper around the regular putty terminal, but it provides the functionality of arranging several putty windows within tabs in a single Putty Connection Manager window. Further, you can dock several dock windows left and right, up and down with finesse. 

There are more useful features, like storing your login configurations in one or more encrypted connection manager databases and automatic login feature using keyboard simulation

If you are new to Db2 for LUW and would like to try out db2-luw but don't have access to a Unix machine where you can install db2, here is one workaround. Install Linux (Ubuntu) on your laptop/desktop and then install db2-express C. While this setup will not exactly duplicate the experience of working on db2-luw on AIX/Solaris environments, it will take your experience much closer.

Our user dr_te_z has shared a cool way of monitoring db2 databases/instances running on  Windows environments using db2top utility. Thanks dr_te_z for sharing this wonderful tip:

My current client runs db2 on ms windows (that's their problem) but I want to monitor the databases with "db2top". So this is what I did.
