Use the Console Preferences page to specify how you want features of the dmgr console workspace to behave.
To view this dmgr console page, click System administration > Console preferences.
Turn on workspace automatic refresh
Whether you want the dmgr console workspace to refresh automatically after the administrative configuration changes.
The default is for the workspace to refresh automatically. If you delete a WebSphere variable, for example, the WebSphere variables page refreshes automatically and shows the updated list of WebSphere variables in the WebSphere variables collection.
An example follows with workspace automatic refresh turned on and two users logged in to the console at the same time. If the first user deletes a mail provider from the collection without saving his changes, the second user does not see the changes. The first user must save the changes. Then the second user must refresh the collection panel on his own console to see the changes. However, if the automatic refresh is not on, then the second user will not see the deletion of the mail provider on the collection panel until after he logs out and logs back in.
Information Value Default true (selected)
No confirmation on workspace discard
Whether the confirmation dialog is displayed after a request is received to discard the workspace. The default is to display confirmation dialogs.
Information Value Default false (cleared)
Use default scope
Whether the default scope is the dmgr console node.
All scopes is the default unless you enable the Use default scope setting to make the dmgr console node the default. Whatever the default is the first time that you view a console panel that has scope settings, that is the default for the panel on subsequent visits that you make to the panel. The default for the panel does not change even if you modify the Use default scope setting.
Information Value Default false (cleared)
Show the help portlet
Whether the help portlet on the right of the console displays.
Information Value Default true (selected)
Enable command assistance notifications
Whether to send JMX notifications containing command assistance data from the dmgr console. Enablement of the notifications allows integration with product tools such as the Toolkit Jython editor for WAS. Enablement of this option is recommended for non-production environments only.
Information Value Default false (cleared)
Log command assistance commands
Whether to log all the command assistance wsadmin data to a file. This file is saved to ${LOG_ROOT}/server/commandAssistanceJythonCommands_user name.log:
- server is the server process where the console runs, such as server1 or adminagent.
- user name is the dmgr console user name.
- When you manage a profile using an administrative agent, the command assistance log is put in the location of the profile the administrative agent is managing. The ${LOG_ROOT} variable defines the profile location.
Occasionally clean out the file to manage its growth.
