graphical interface makes these complex tasks easier through:
v Wizards that help you perform certain tasks
v Dynamic fields that are activated based on your input choices
v Hints that help you make configuration decisions
v Discovery that can retrieve information about selected database objects
The
Configuration Assistant displays a list of the databases to which your
applications can connect. Each database is identified by its database alias. You can
use the Add Database wizard to add databases to the list. You can use the Change
Database wizard to alter the information that is associated with databases in the
list.
From the View menu, you can select an advanced view, which uses a notebook to
organize connection information by object: Systems, Instance Nodes, Databases,
Database Connection Services (DCS), and Data Sources. You can use the notebook
pages to perform object-specific actions.

Getting started with the Replication Center
You can start the Replication Center in the following ways:
v Select Replication Center from the Tools menu of another tool.
v Click the
icon from the toolbar of another tool.
v Enter the db2rc command.
v On Windows systems, click Start and select Programs —> IBM DB2 —>

Use
the Replication Center to administer replication between a DB2 database and
another relational database (DB2 or non-DB2). From the Replication Center, you
can define replication environments, apply designated changes from one location
to another, and synchronize the data in both locations.
The first time you invoke the Replication Center, the Replication Center launch pad
appears with three views: SQL Replication, Q Replication, and Monitoring and
Alarms.
