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.
