View

Use the View menu to customize how the objects are displayed in the contents pane, refresh the objects displayed in the object tree and contents pane, display the legend for the icons in the Control Center, open another Control Center, or open other DB2 tools.

From this menu, you can select these menu choices:

Filter
Opens the Filter window so that you can filter the objects that appear in the contents pane.

Sort
Opens the Sort window so that you can select the order in which objects are displayed in the contents pane. You can sort on any column, or on multiple columns, in the contents pane (ascending or descending).

Customize columns
Opens the Customize Columns window so that you can select the order of the informational columns in the contents pane and reorder, include, or exclude them.

Details
Displays details about the objects in the contents pane.

Icon
Displays icons in the contents pane that represent objects.

Text
Displays the names of the objects in the contents pane with the icons.

Legend
Opens the Legend window that displays all of the object icons available in the Control Center by icon and name.

Control Center
Opens a new Control Center. The new Control Center opens in a separate window. The new object tree is identical to the first.

Displaying two Control Centers allows you to work with two or more objects that are not easily displayed in a single object tree or contents pane. This feature is especially useful when you want to look at the contents of two folders at the same time.

Command Center
Opens the Command Center so that you can work with database commands, their results, and access plans for SQL queries.

Script Center
Opens the Script Center so that you can create and run operating system level and DB2 command scripts.

Journal
Opens the Journal so that you can run, schedule, and delete jobs and view the recovery history log, and the messages log.

Tools Settings
Opens the Tools Settings notebook so that you can customize settings and properties for the administration tools and for replication tasks.

Refresh
Updates the view of the objects displayed in the object tree and contents pane to reflect changes made.

Some of these functions are also available from the Control Center toolbar or the contents pane toolbar.
