# Accounting for Db2 in an ibi WebFOCUS Reporting Server Task

When using a server to access Db2 data, certain processing takes place within the Db2 address space and is governed by the Db2 chargeback system. If a user requests data from Db2, the server passes the request to the Db2 subsystem. The Db2 subsystem then processes the request, performing such tasks as retrieving rows and aggregating the data. It generates the answer set, and passes the output back to the server. The server then performs any joins and formatting which have not been performed by Db2 to satisfy the original request.

Charges incurred while the request is being processed by the Db2 subsystem are added to the charges accumulated in the server task that originated the request for processing. If the server accounting is enabled, these charges are associated with the user logon and security IDs in the SMF records described earlier.
