In addition to basic administration tasks, you can use the Control Center to configure and tune instances and databases, manage database connections, manage IMS systems, manage DB2 for z/OS, manage database application objects, and analyze queries by using Visual Explain to look at access plans. In many cases, advisors, launchpads, and wizards are available to help you perform administration tasks quickly.
