About the System Management Hub

The System Management Hub (SMH) is a Web-based graphical user interface (GUI) you can use to perform administrative tasks for some Software AG products, including Adabas Directory Server, Adabas Administration Services, and Entire Net-Work. It runs in a standard Web browser.

Before you start using the System Management Hub, you must set up an administrative user for the product. To do so, consult the Add Administrator section of the System Management Hub documentation, available on Empower.
