Before you can work with a server and its databases you will need to catalog information about the server on the Control Center workstation. The DB2 Control Center only works with servers and databases that are catalogued on the workstation where the Control Center is running. To catalog information about a remote server on Linux systems, use the command line processor. For more information, see Configuring Client to LAN-Based Server Communications Using the Command Line Processor.
Once the Control Center is running, start by clicking on the plus sign next to the server you want to administer. Select the database or connectivity server objects that you want to administer and click the right mouse button on the object to work with object properties or to execute actions on the object. Remember to press F1 to display help as you work.
