In Sybase Control Center, a resource is a unique Sybase product component or subcomponent. A server is the most common managed resource.
Sybase products comprise many components, including servers, databases, devices, and processes. A managed resource is a product component or subcomponent that Sybase Control Center allows you to monitor and manage.
The Resource Explorer window lists resources that you have registered with Sybase Control Center. Resources are registered at the server or agent level; registering a server or agent also makes Sybase Control Center aware of any subcomponents. You can register resources individually or register by importing resources in a batch. For instructions on registering, see the Configuration section of the help for your product module.
Once server and agent resources are registered, add them to perspectives so you can monitor their availability and performance and manage the resources to meet your needs.
You can register resources one at a time or in groups. See the topics on registering and importing resources in the Configure section of the help for your product module.
