Getting started with the Web Command Center

Use the Web version of the Command Center to execute SQL statements, DB2 commands, and OS commands against a remote DB2 server, either interactively or in scripts. This is particularly useful for database administrators and experienced users who need to be able to work with the database at any time, from any place. The Web version of the Command Center includes most of the features of the full Command Center, but it does not currently include Visual Explain or SQL Assist.

To access the DB2 server, you use an HTML 4.0-compliant Web browser that runs on any computing device from a desktop computer to a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA). The browser is a client, which communicates with a middle-tier application server. The application server communicates with the DB2 server. Secure Socket Layer (SSL), the same technology that is used for most Internet banking and secure e-commerce transactions, is used for all communication.
