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.

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.
