6.6.0.3: Web administrative console overview

The Web administrative console is a light client that runs in a Web browser. You can use it to work with a subset of the resources in the administrative domain. It provides the opportunity to work with property files encoded in eXtensible Markup Language (XML).

The table describes what you can use the Web administrative console to do. Click an activity for a detailed overview of the activity and links to help with the related tasks and settings.

Activity Brief description
Perform tasks Perform two main kinds of tasks: (1) create objects, and (2) export the workspace to XML (described separately below).
Create resources (objects) Create new resources of a variety of types. This console supports the most popular resources in the administrative domain.
Configure resources View and configure existing resources, including resources you created during this session, and previously existing resources of the supported types.
Submit modifications Accumulate changes in the local memory (workspace) as you create and modify resources. Modify a property sheet, then use the button at the bottom to save the changes in the workspace.
Commit all modifications When ready, you can commit the changes you have accumulated in the local workspace. Committing the changes to the administrative database makes the administrative domain aware of the changes. If you do not commit them, the changes will be discarded when you close the browser.
Export workspace to XML Instead of, or in addition to, committing the modifications, you can save them to an XML file. You can later use another administrative client to import the file into the administrative domain.
