How to monitor multiple instances of IBM DB2 database in SQL-Toolkit plugin

Issue:

For monitoring IBM DB2 databases, the instance name should be specified at the DB2INSTANCE environment variable.

Solution:

If user needs to monitor more than one DB2 database instance, it will be required to start one Netprobe process per database instance.
In the Netprobe startup script, it should include the DB2INSTANCE environment variable pointing to the instance name. e.g.
```
export DB2INSTANCE=fxappdb
```
The environment variable should be set prior to Netprobe process startup.

Note

This procedure does not work for Windows Netprobes. These are usually started with Windows services, and do not have separate startup scripts.
