In Version 7, you can extend the DB2 Universal Database Control Center by using the new plug-in architecture to provide additional function.
The concept of the plug-in architecture is to provide the ability to add items for a given object in the Control Center popup menu, and add new buttons to the tool bar. A set of Java interfaces, which you must implement, is shipped along with the tools. These interfaces are used to communicate to the Control Center what additional actions to include.
