Create new resources or browse and manage existing resources.
Prerequisites
If you want to view or manage existing resources, register at least one resource and add it to a perspective.
Task
The Administration Console enables you to view and manage both servers and resources below the server level, such as processes, databases, and devices.
- Launch the Administration Console.
- To populate the Administration Console with information on one or more
resources: in the Perspective Resources view, select the resources and select . This method is the most efficient because it displays only
selected resources.
- To populate the Administration Console with information on all the resources
in the current perspective: from the main menu bar, select . If you are monitoring a large number of resources, the
Administration Console may take a few minutes to load.
- To explore the hierarchy of resource types select in the left pane. Expand the resource types by clicking their
arrow icons.
- Select a resource type (any server type, for example) in the
hierarchy.
In the right pane, the Administration Console displays a list
of resources of that type.
Note: Message rows in the right
pane are placeholders for:
- Failed requests – to retry, select the message row and click the
drop-down arrow that appears to the right. Select
Retry.
- Slow-responding requests – SCC replaces these rows with real data as
soon as it arrives.
- Large result sets – to display, select the message row and click the
drop-down arrow that appears to the right. Select
Expand. The results might take a minute
to appear.
- Cancel request – if a slow responding or expanding of large result
set request has been cancelled, then a message row indicating the
request has been cancelled is displayed. You can retry the request
again by selecting the drop-down menu and then clicking
Retry from the context menu.
Hover the mouse over a message row to see a tooltip with more
information.
- (Optional) To create a resource of the type now selected, click or .
- (Optional) To refresh the view, select .
- In either the right or the left pane, select an object.
A dropdown arrow appears to the right of the name. If
the selected object is in the right pane, the Resource
menu becomes active.
- Click the dropdown arrow to display a menu of actions you can
perform on that object. If the selected object is in the right pane, use the
Resource menu to display the same actions.
Note: Some managed objects have no actions.
