Figure 1. Control Center with a database selected

Expand the Object Tree until you can see your database and select it. The right side of the Control Center will fill with details about the database’s current operation and links to relevant actions.

When you created your database with the Create Database with Automatic Maintenance, you enabled certain Automatic maintenance features. The features are set up and do not necessarily require any further attention. You may, however, find it useful to know where their settings can be found and further configured.

There are automatic maintenance-related tools available. The first of these is the Automatic Maintenance wizard, which you can start by clicking on the Maintenance link in the Object Details Pane. As the wizard’s name suggests, it will allow you to change the way in which automatic maintenance is carried out for your database.

Another tool is the Health Center. You can launch it by clicking on Monitor DB Health in the Object Details Pane or by selecting Health Center from the Tools menu. Under normal circumstances, you should never have to look at the Health Center. If the health of your database needs attention, you will be notified by e-mail. You can then find out more about what needs attention.
