Use the tasks in this topic to get started using the administrative console to manage and administer WebSphere® Process Server resources.
The following tasks help you start the server and the administrative console, set the console scope and preferences, and save your work to the master repository.
Before you can use the administrative console, you must start the stand-alone server or deployment manager. For instructions on starting a stand-alone server, see Starting and stopping stand-alone servers. For instructions on starting the deployment manager, see Starting and stopping the deployment manager.
See Starting and stopping the administrative console for details.
Preferences control how data is displayed in the administrative console, as well as how the workspace behaves. See Setting administrative console preferences.
The scope specifies the level at which a resource is visible on the administrative console. A resource can be visible in a console collection table at the cell, node, cluster, or server scope. See Administrative console scope settings for details.
Filters specify which data is shown in a column on a collection page. See Setting administrative console filters.
By default, a console session times out after 30 minutes of inactivity. You can change this value by editing the deployment.xml configuration file, as described in Configuration document descriptions.
Until you save your changes to the master repository, the console uses a local workspace to track the changes. To save your changes, click System Administration > Save Changes to Master Repository to display the Save page, and then click Save.
