The Control Center is used to manage systems, DB2 Universal Database instances, DB2 for OS/390 subsystems, databases, and database objects, such as tables and views. In the Control Center, you can display all of your systems, databases, and database objects and perform administration tasks on them.
If you have problems starting the Control Center, refer to "Control Center Installation and Configuration." You can find this document in the file x:\sqllib\cc\prime\readme.htm where x is the drive where you installed DB2.
The Control Center Administration Engine Log (db2cc.log) records information about the errors generated while using the Control Center. The log is always active while the Control Center is active. The log file is kept in the home directory of the executable that invokes the Control Center, that is, in the bin subdirectory of the sqllib subdirectory. The log can be viewed and updated using an ASCII file editor.
The log file records the error message type, a time stamp, a process identifier (PID), a thread identifier (TID), and an SQL error message. The process ID and the thread ID are used to identify the operating system that generated the log. By combining information from the log files with the Control Center trace information, the DB2 Service and Support personnel are able to determine which Control Center task caused the error. This information is only of use to the DB2 Service and Support personnel.
See Taking Other Traces for more information on taking a Control Center trace.
