Admin menu options

Upload Products / Manage Products

This feature allows you to upload or disable a product, and unregister its non-applied components. See information about uploading and disabling a complete product or unregistering its components in Uploading a product, Disabling a product and Unregistering a component.

Take Notes

This feature allows you to create a note for reference. See information about creating notes in Taking notes.

Connected Users

This feature allows you to see all users currently logged in or connected to the LifeCycle Manager Server. See information about viewing connected users in Viewing connected users.

Roles

This feature allows you to view all groups declared in the LDAP server, including the list of members as well as the corresponding administrated products of each group. This feature also allows you to clear the LDAP cache. See information about LDAP groups in Viewing roles and Clearing the LDAP cache.

Trace Logs

This feature allows you to view trace logs. See information about viewing logs in Viewing Client or Server Logs.

Product Logs

This feature allows you to view logs for different products whenever a log path is specified in the product package. An example of a product package containing log paths is WebSphere Application Server (WAS). A log path is created for each application server when you perform the following tasks: attach a WAS middleware, create a WAS profile, create an application server in WAS, and start an application server.

See information about viewing product logs in Viewing product logs.

Validate Dependencies

This feature gives an overview of products that are affected by product dependencies between different versions of installed products. The feature could also check dependencies in middleware and operating system versions. The information here does not replace the System Requirements for the installed products. Instead, it complements the requirements specified in the corresponding Installation Guide in order to help system administrators trace possible problems in the installation.

See information about viewing product dependencies in Uploading a product dependency package and Viewing product dependencies.

Backups

This feature allows you to instantly back up the LifeCycle Manager Server by pressing the Backup Now button. You can also view the backup properties information from the lcm.properties file. See information about backing up files in Backing up the LifeCycle Manager Server and Changing the backup settings.

Monitor Certificates

This feature allows you to add or remove SSL connections, or to check SSL certificates retrieved from the said connections. See Managing SSL connections.
