Getting Started with IBM Data Studio for DB2

1.4.3 Resetting the default views for a perspective
Chapter 1 – Overview and installation 51
We encourage you to play around with the views and perspectives in the workbench. For
people not familiar with Eclipse, it can seem a bit strange to have views appearing and
disappearing. If you get to the point where you just want it back to the way it was before
you started playing, you can reset the perspective from the Window menu as shown in
Figure 1.22.
Figure 1.22 – Reset the views to the defaults for the currently open perspective
Note:
The Reset Perspective menu option shown in Figure 1.22 only resets the current
perspective. If you want to modify or reset a different perspective, you can open Window
-> Preferences, and then select General -> Perspectives. On that page, you can select a
perspective and click the Reset button. The next time that you open the perspective, it
will be restored to the default layout.
1.5 Getting ready to install Data Studio web console
The web console part of Data Studio consists of a server and a client that you use in a web
browser. The server must be running to provide its intended functionality such as health
monitoring and alerts, or scheduling of jobs. You will learn more about these capabilities in
Chapter 4 and Chapter 6, respectively. If you want to use these capabilities you must install
and configure the Data Studio web console, and this section helps you prepare for that.
