6.6.0.1.14: Actions on the right-click menus of resources
The table summarizes choices available on the right-click menus of
resources in the Topology or Type trees. To view the right-click menu
of a resource, locate and right-click the resource in the tree.
Some actions are not available for certain resources, or can become
temporarily unavailable due to the state of a resource. (For example,
if a server is already stopped, its Stop action will be unavailable).
Action |
Result |
Create |
Creates a new instance, child, or model of the resource.
- For
resources in the Type tree, the action displays a properties dialog
for creating a new instance of the resource.
- For resources in the
Topology tree, the action is part of a menu sequence for creating
either children or models of the resource.
For example, the right-click
menu of a servlet engine in the Topology tree contains options for
creating a Web application, User Profile or Session Manager, or model
of the servlet engine.
|
Default Properties |
Displays a properties dialog for specifying the default properties
of the resource type.
For example, to specify a set of properties that each new servlet
engine should have after its initial creation, select Default Properties
from the right-click menu of the Servlet Engines resource in the Type
tree. |
Enabled |
Specify whether to make the resource available to users, or
temporarily remove it from service. |
Force Stop |
Stops the resource when the regular Stop action is ineffective. Use
the option when the administrative server or other resource is in a
strange state and cannot be stopped using the ordinary Stop action. |
Performance |
Displays the EPM dialog for specifying which components of the
resource to monitor for performance data. See the Related information
to learn more about performance monitoring.
|
Ping |
Pings the resource to see whether the resource is responding. The
administrator can use the ping action as a basic check of the "health"
of the resource.
For information about the ping operation, consult the documentation
for the operating system in use. |
Properties |
Displays a properties dialog for configuring the resource. |
Remove |
Permanently removes the resource and its child resources from
the administrative domain. |
Restart |
Stops a resource, then returns the resource to the state it was in
before it (or its parent resource) was stopped.
For example, suppose you performed Stop for Restart (or just Restart)
on a running administrative
server node containing application server "A" in the stopped state and application
server "B" in the running state. The Restart command would cause application server A
to remain stopped. It would return application server B to the running state, along
with the administrative server.
(For
some resources, this action is listed as Restart resource type). |
Start |
Changes the resource to running state. |
Stop |
Stops the resource.
For an administrative server node, this action stops the administrative server
running on the node. It does not shut down the operating system. |
Stop for Restart |
Stops a resource and any resources contained by the resource, in preparation
for the Restart command.
It can be useful for stopping and restarting an
administrative server that contains multiple application servers, some of
which are running and others of which are stopped. Using
a combination of Stop for Restart and then Restart will return the
application servers to their former states (stopped or running) when
the administrative server is restarted.
|
Transactions |
Displays the transactions dialog for viewing and controlling
transactions occurring on the resource. See the Related information
to learn more about administering transactions. |
Trace |
Displays the trace administration dialog. See the Related information
below to learn more about tracing. |
