Db2 Admin Tool panels

The release level and mode or function level of your Db2® subsystems can affect the options that are available on the Db2 Admin Tool panels.

DB2 Administration Menu (ADB2) panel
The DB2 Administration Menu (ADB2) panel is the main menu for accessing Db2 Admin Tool functions.
System catalog panels
The main system catalog panels are described in this reference information.
Types of panels
Db2 Admin Tool uses table display, BROWSE, VIEW, and SQL error-display panels.
Panel IDs
A panel ID identifies a panel. When turned on, the panel IDs are displayed in the upper left corner of the panels.
Determining valid values for input fields
You can use the Look Up function to determine valid values that you can specify in certain input fields. By using the Look Up function, you can save keystrokes and avoid typing errors. You can also avoid backing out of the current panel in order to search for the correct object.
Filtering data on panels
When you run queries to display information about Db2 objects or authorizations, you can filter the information that is displayed by using search arguments in certain input fields. After the query is run, you can also filter the resulting information that is displayed on the table display panel.
Sorting display data
On table display panels, you can sort the rows in ascending or descending order based on one or more columns.
Refreshing data on panels
As you work through Db2 Admin Tool panels, you might want to refresh the original data on a panel after specifying new data or changing data on that panel.
Displaying and entering long field values
Some fields do not display complete values because the space on the panel is limited. In these cases, you can use the ISPF scrollable fields to see more content.
Setting panel display options
You can customize display settings across Db2 Admin Tool panels.
