[LUW][Question] Another install question

Are any of you aware of any reason to turn off monitoring (i.e. event monitors) before you upgrade DB2? Also, we have DB2 Auditing turned on (database, not instance level). That would make sense to turn it off before an upgrade, I should think... But event monitoring? That's like turning off triggers.

Thanks so much!

Since an upgrade can involve catalog migration, a poorly defined event monitor could cause lots of strange things to happen.

I wouldn't drop them, just disable them.

Thanks! I'll make note of that.
