Adding DB2 Universal Database systems, instances, and databases to the object tree

Use the Control Center to add systems, instances, and databases to the object tree.

If you install a new computer system or create a new instance and you want to use the Control Center to perform tasks on it, you must add it to the object tree.

If you remove a database, or uncatalog it outside of the Control Center, and you want to use the Control Center to perform tasks on it, you must add it to the object tree.

Authorities and privileges

To add systems, instances, or databases to the object tree:

1. Open the Control Center.

2. Expand the object tree to display the folder for the type of object (system, instance, or database) that you want to add.

3. Click mouse button 2 on the folder. A pop-up menu of all of the available actions for the object opens.

4. Select the Add menu choice. The Add window opens to guide you through the process for adding the object.

   In the Add window, you can get a list of existing remote systems, instances, or databases by using the Refresh push button.
