The reference to Tivoli for security is mystifying. DB2 can use Tivoli storage manager (or Veritas or Legato) for Backup and archival management. DB2 can use Tivoli products for monitoring.

For security, 99% of DB2 customers today use services provided by the operating system (like Kerberos on Windows and RACF on zOS). I'm aware that there are Tivoli security products, but none of them are part of a typical DB2 installation.
