Collection pages

Manage a collection of existing administrative objects. A collection page typically contains one or more of the following elements:

Scope

Scope is described in Administrative console scope settings.

Preferences

Preferences are described in Administrative console preference settings.

Table of existing objects

The table displays existing admin objects of the type specified by the collection page. The table columns summarize the values of the key settings for these objects. If no objects exist yet, an empty table is displayed. Use the available options to create a new object.

Buttons for performing actions

The available actions are described on the Administrative console buttons help panel. In most cases, we need to select one or more of the objects in the table, then click an action. The action is applied to the selected objects.

Sort toggle buttons

The column headings in the table are followed by icons for sort ascending (^) and sort descending (v). By default, items such as names are sorted in descending order (alphabetically). To enable another sorting order, click the icons for the column to sort.

 

Detail pages

Configure specific admin objects, such as an appserver. A detail page typically contains one or more of the following elements:

Configuration tabbed page

This tabbed page is for modifying the configuration of an administrative object. Each configuration page has a set of general properties that is specific to the admin object. Other sets of properties display on the page, but vary depending on the admin object.

Runtime tabbed page

This tabbed page displays the configuration that is currently in use for the admin object. The object is read-only in most cases. Some detail pages do not have runtime tabs.

If we can edit runtime properties, these properties directly affect the current runtime environment, but are not preserved when that environment is stopped.

Local Topology tabbed page

This tabbed page displays the topology that is currently in use for the administrative object. View the topology by expanding and collapsing the different levels of the topology. Some detail pages do not have local topology tabs.

Buttons for performing actions

Buttons to perform specific actions display on the configuration tabbed page and the Runtime tabbed page. The displayed buttons vary based on the administrative object. The available buttons are described on the Administrative console buttons help panel.

 

Wizard pages

Complete a configuration process comprised of several steps. Be aware that wizards show or hide certain steps depending on the characteristics of the specific object that we are configuring.
