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 object types, select in the left pane. Expand an object type by clicking its arrow
icon.
- Select an object 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.
Hover the mouse over a message row to see a tooltip with more information.
- (Optional) To create an object 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.
