Administrative console areas
Use the administrative console to create and manage resources,
applications and servers or to view product messages.
To view the administrative console, ensure that the application server
for the administrative console is running. Point a Web browser at the URL
for the administrative console, enter your user ID and, if needed, a password
on the Login page.
The console has the following main areas, which you can resize as desired:
- Taskbar
- The taskbar offers options for returning to the console Home page,
saving changes to administrative configurations, specifying console-wide
preferences, logging out of the console, and accessing product information.
- Navigation tree
- The navigation tree on the left side of the console offers links
to console pages that you use to create and manage components in a WebSphere
Application Server administrative cell.
Click on a + beside a tree folder or item to expand the tree for
the folder or item. Click on a - to collapse the tree for the folder
or item. Click on an item in the tree view to toggle its state between expanded
and collapsed.
- WorkSpace
- The workspace on the right side of the console contains pages that
you use to create and manage configuration objects such as servers and resources.
Click links in the navigation tree to view the different types of configured
objects. Within the workspace, click on configured objects to view their
configurations, run-time status, and options. Click Home in the taskbar
to display the workspace Home page, which contains links to information on
using the WebSphere Application Server product.
- WebSphere Status
- The status messages area at the bottom of the console provides
information on messages returned by the WebSphere Application Server. The
information deals with problems in your administrative configuration as well
as messages about run-time events. Click Previous or Next to
toggle among displays of configuration problems and run-time events.
You can adjust the interval between automatic refreshes in the Preferences
settings.
