Overview of the console

The BMC AMI Command Center for Db2 main console is displayed after you log on to BMC AMI Command Center. The product's web-based console has one pane for managing workspaces and another for working with your Db2 objects and data sets.

When you first launch the product, the console features a welcome screen. Creating your first workspace enables all of the tools in the Workspace Manager toolbar and switches the focus in the right pane to the DB2 Navigator perspective.

The following figure shows all perspective tabs and displays the DB2 Navigator perspective. If you create a workspace from a template, your screen might show only certain perspectives or might list them in a different order, based on the template's settings. For more information, see Setting Command Center options.

Also, if your system administrator has chosen to hide features disabled by the security administrator, you might not see all of the perspectives.
