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, agents, databases, devices, and processes. A managed resource is a product component or subcomponent that Sybase Control Center lets you monitor and administer. Two important tools for resource management are the Resource Explorer and the Perspective Resources view.
- The Resource Explorer lists resources that are registered with Sybase Control Center. The list may include resources that you have not yet added to a perspective. Registration enables Sybase Control Center to connect to the resource, log in, retrieve monitoring data, and issue commands. Resources are registered at the server or agent level, and registering a server or agent also makes Sybase Control Center aware of any subcomponents. You can register resources individually or register several at once by importing them in a batch.
- The Perspective Resources view lists registered resources that you have added to the current perspective. You must add a resource to a perspective to manage and monitor its availability and performance.
