Administrative console areas

Use the administrative console to create and manage objects such as resources, applications, and servers. Additionally, use the administrative console to view product messages. This topic describes the main areas that display on the administrative console.

To view the administrative console, ensure that the server for the administrative console is running. If you have configured a stand-alone server, the console runs on that server. If you have configured a network deployment cell, the console runs on the deployment manager server.

Point a Web browser at the Web address for the administrative console, enter your user ID and, if security is enabled, a password on the Login page.

You can resize the width of the navigation tree and workspace simultaneously by dragging the border between them to the left or the right. The change in width does not persist between administrative console user sessions.

The console has the following main areas.

Navigation tree

The navigation tree on the left side of the console offers links to console pages that you use to create and manage components in a cell.

Click a plus sign (+) beside a tree folder or item to expand the tree for the folder or item.

Click a minus sign (-) to collapse the tree for the folder or item.

Click an item in the tree view to display its console page. This also toggles the item between an expanded and collapsed tree.

Workspace

The workspace on the right side of the console contains pages that you use to create and manage configuration objects such as servers and resources.

Click links in the navigation tree to view the different types of configured objects.

Within the workspace, click configured objects to view their configurations, run-time status, and options. Click buttons to perform actions on selected objects.

Click Welcome in the navigation tree to display the workspace Home page, which contains links to product-specific Welcome pages for each product you have installed. Use these pages to see detailed information on using each product.

The Welcome page also provides a task filtering selector to help refine the administrative console pages. Each filter provides a subset of administrative console functionality pertinent to a particular set of tasks (for example, process server administration or enterprise service bus administration).
