Hosts

The Hosts tab displays all servers, middleware, and products installed on the LCM Server. You can select which object to display in the Hosts tab using the text filter field in the tab. If the Hosts tab is not displayed, then select Show > Hosts.

A context menu is displayed when you select and right-click an object in Hosts tab. It contains the tasks specific to the object and the available options vary depending on the object selected: a server, an application, a product, or a middleware. The tasks in the context menu are also available on the dashboard when you double-click an object.
