OpenSwitch 15.1 and later includes the OpenSwitch Manager plug-in to Sybase Central™. Sybase integrates its systems management tools into one desktop product, called Sybase Central. You can manage each server product, such as OpenSwitch, Replication Server®, or Adaptive Server®, from Sybase Central.
Sybase Central and OpenSwitch Manager are options you can install as part of your OpenSwitch installation. You must install Sybase Central if you want to use OSWM. See the OpenSwitch Installation Guide for your platform for installation instructions.
You can use OpenSwitch Manager to develop, manage, and monitor an OpenSwitch environment that includes OpenSwitch servers, Adaptive Servers, coordination modules (CM), and replication coordination modules (RCM) that participate in the environment.
With its easy-to-use interface, OpenSwitch Manager allows you to perform many administrative tasks for which you would otherwise use commands and registered procedures, including:
Adding, assigning, altering, and deleting OpenSwitch objects, such as OpenSwitch servers, Adaptive Servers, pools, and processes.
Managing, troubleshooting, and monitoring the availability of multiple OpenSwitch servers, Adaptive Servers, and pools, and the state of connections to all servers and pools.
Controlling the flow of data by suspending, switching, and resuming connections either manually in response to an administrative request, or automatically in response to an Adaptive Server failure.
See Chapter 3, “OpenSwitch Manager” in the OpenSwitch Administration Guide for more information. Use the online help in OpenSwitch Manager to guide you when you perform tasks.
