The Maintenance status category in the Object Details pane will tell you whether or not automatic maintenance is enabled for the database in question. Clicking on Maintenance will allow you to enable, configure, and disable automatic maintenance for the database. If you created the database with the Create Database Using Automatic Maintenance wizard, from First Steps or within the Control Center, then Maintenance should be in the enabledstate.

To schedule tasks through the Control Center, you must first create a tools catalog. If you did not create a tools catalog when you installed your DB2 product, you can select Tools—> Tools Settings —> Scheduler Settings and create one now.

To customize objects and actions:

Use the Control Center View window to select the view of the Control Center with which you want to work.

Your DB2 product is made up of various components and objects. These objects are used to store and work with data. The database itself is only one of a number of objects that make up a database product’s hierarchy of objects. Other components include systems, tables, views, triggers, and indexes. The DB2 database server presents its hierarchy as an object tree in the left pane of the Control Center.

You can choose to have the Control Center View window open whenever you open the Control Center by selecting Show this window at startup time. Your Control Center now displays your view selection.
