WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus for z/OS, Version 6.2.0 Operating Systems: z/OS


Administrative console pages

Administrative console pages are formatted in one of three ways: Collection, detail, and wizard pages. Understanding the layout and behavior of each type of page can help you use them more effectively.

Collection pages

A collection page manages a collection of existing administrative objects (for example, relationships, failed events, or resource adapters). It contains one or more of the following elements:
Scope and preferences
The scope and preferences help determine which administrative objects are displayed in the table, and how they should appear.
Table of existing objects
The table displays existing administrative objects of the type specified by the collection page. The table columns summarize the values of the key settings for these objects. If no objects exist yet, the table is empty. Use the available buttons to create a new object.
Buttons for performing actions
The typical buttons are described in Administrative console buttons. In most cases, you need to select one or more objects in the collection table, then click a button. The action is applied to all selected objects.
Sorting toggle buttons
After each column heading in the table are icons to sort the entries in ascending (^) or descending (v) order. By default, items such as object names are sorted in descending order (alphabetically).

Detail pages

A detail page is used to view details about an object and to configure specific objects (such as an application server or a listener port extension). It typically contains one or more of the following elements:
Configuration tabbed page
This tabbed page is used to modify the configuration of an administrative object. Each configuration page has a set of general properties specific to the object. Additional properties can be displayed on the page, depending on the type of administrative object you are configuring.

Changes to this tabbed page can require a server restart before they take effect.

Runtime tabbed page
This tabbed page displays the configuration that is currently in use for the administrative object. It can be read-only. Note that some detail pages do not have runtime tabs.

Changes to this tabbed page take effect immediately.

Local topology tabbed page
This tabbed page displays the topology that is currently in use for the administrative object. View the topology by expanding and collapsing the different levels of the topology. Note that some detail pages do not have local topology tabs.
Buttons for performing actions
Buttons to perform specific actions display only on configuration tabbed pages and runtime tabbed pages. The typical buttons are described in Administrative console buttons.

Wizard pages

Wizard pages help you complete a configuration process comprised of several steps. Be aware that wizards can show or hide certain steps, depending on the characteristics of the specific object you are configuring. See Administrative console guided activities.
