Maybe you could run two separate BB clients on the database machine? One
that would report the stuff that the SA's are interested in, the other
(reporting under the DB name) could do the database tests?

I did something similar using pagesets. I created a pageset that
listed servers by their primary function like this:
fnpage APPSERVER Application Servers fnpage MQS MQ Series fnpage ORACLE Oracle fnpage SQLSERVER SQL Server fnpage WEBSERVER Web Servers
Added "Functional view" to the views menu and was all set. This seems
to work pretty well, my DBA's like it.
Thanks, Larry Barber
