DB2 graphic QMF Version 8

Directory structure

The QMF Report Center window contains a tree-like structure of available Favorites, DB2 servers, Public Favorites, objects, and a Recycle Bin.

Each type of object has an icon, such as an icon for a query or database server. Click on the icon for an object type to view the objects for each server and view all other available servers.

Favorites

Your Favorites folder contains reports based on objects that reside on a server. You can create reports by copying objects to your Favorites folder. The objects are not physically located on your hard drive; instead, the reports point to objects on the server.

Note:
No one else can access objects in your Favorites folders because you are the owner of these folders.

DB2 servers

This part of the tree lists all DB2 servers that are in your server definition file (SDF).

Note:
Servers that you cannot access may still be listed.

Reports

This part of the tree lists, by server name, all available objects to which you have access.

Public favorites

The Public Favorites folder resides on a server and contains reports, along with your Favorites folders. Any user can access Public favorites; whereas, only you can access objects in your Favorites folders because you are the owner of these folders.

Recycle Bin

The Recycle Bin contains items that you delete from your Favorites folder.

Deleted items remain in the Recycle Bin until you empty the bin. The Recycle Bin acts as an "undo" feature because you can move items out of the bin and back to your Favorites.
