Administrative console page features
This topic provides information about the basic elements
of an administrative console page, such as the various tabs.
Administrative console pages are arranged in a few basic patterns.
Understanding their layout and behavior can help you use them more
easily.
Collection pages
Use collection pages to manage a collection of existing administrative
objects. A collection page typically contains one or more of the following
elements:
- Scope
- Scope is described in Administrative console scope settings.
- Table of existing objects
- The table displays existing administrative objects of the type
specified by the collection page. The table columns summarize the
values of the key settings for these objects. If no objects exist
yet, an empty table is displayed. Use the available options to create
a new object.
- Buttons for performing actions
- The available actions are described on the Administrative console
buttons help panel. In most cases, you need to select one or more
of the objects in the table, then click an action. The action is applied
to the selected objects.
- Sort toggle buttons
- The column headings in the table are followed by icons for sort
ascending (^) and sort descending (v). By default, items such as names
are sorted in descending order (alphabetically). To enable another
sorting order, click the icons for the column that you want to sort.
Detail pages
Use detail pages to configure specific administrative objects,
such as an application server. A detail page typically contains one
or more of the following elements:
- Configuration tabbed page
- This tabbed page is for modifying the configuration of an administrative
object. Each configuration page has a set of general properties that
is specific to the administrative object. Other sets of properties
display on the page, but vary depending on the administrative object.
- Runtime tabbed page
- This tabbed page displays the configuration that is currently
in use for the administrative object. The object is read-only in most
cases. Some detail pages do not have runtime tabs.
If you can edit
runtime properties, these properties directly affect the current runtime
environment, but are not preserved when that environment is stopped.
- Local Topology tabbed page
- This tabbed page displays the topology that is currently in use
for the administrative object. View the topology by expanding and
collapsing the different levels of the topology. Some detail pages
do not have local topology tabs.
- Buttons for performing actions
- Buttons to perform specific actions display on the configuration
tabbed page and the Runtime tabbed page. The displayed buttons vary
based on the administrative object. The available buttons are described
on the Administrative console buttons help panel.
Wizard pages
Use wizard pages to complete a configuration process comprised
of several steps. Be aware that wizards show or hide certain steps
depending on the characteristics of the specific object that you are
configuring.
