Introduction: Administrative console

 

The console is a graphical interface that allows you to manage your applications and perform system administration tasks for your WAS environment. The console runs in your Web browser.

Your actions in the console modify a set of XML configuration files.

You can use the console to perform tasks such as:

• Add, delete, start, and stop appservers

• Deploy new applications to a server

• Start and stop existing applications, and modify certain configurations

• Add and delete J2EE resource providers for applications that require data access, mail, URLs, and so on

• Manage variables, shared libraries, and other configurations that can span multiple appservers

• Configure product security, including access to the console

• Collect data for performance and troubleshooting purposes

• Find the product version information. It is located on the front page of the console.
