• General Overview

• Graphical User Interface Concepts

General Overview

Tamino provides an administration tool that is implemented as a client-server application. The Tamino Manager is the point of central administration, and it runs in the System Management Hub, the standard, GUI-based, central point of administration for Software AG's products. The System Management Hub itself runs in a standard web browser. Please refer to the System Management Hub documentation for further information. For basic administration functions (create database, start/stop database, backup/restore database), the Tamino Manager uses the administration agent component installed on the node where the Tamino Server to be administered runs.

Note:
If you close the browser window in which the System Management Hub is running or switch to another URL, you will also terminate the Tamino Manager.

Graphical User Interface Concepts

This section describes the following points:

• The System Management Hub window

• Tamino documentation

• Tree views

• Alerts

• The database traffic light

The System Management Hub Window

The System Management Hub window is divided into two parts: a navigation/tree-view frame (left) and a display/detail-view frame (right) that is used to display details of selected objects or to accept user input. The following image shows an example of the System Management Hub window with the Tamino Manager running.

To change the size of either of the parts, move the mouse pointer over the border separating the parts until the pointer changes, showing two arrows that point in opposite directions. Then drag the border using the mouse until the parts have the required sizes.

Commands can be issued using the context menu. The availability of commands depends on the object you select from the tree frame and on the current status of that object. Only those commands that are available for the selected object are displayed. If you select another object, the contents of the context menu will be refreshed accordingly.

Tables that are displayed in the display/detail-view frame can be sorted using the small triangles in the table header. If you select the upper triangle, you will get an ascending sort order (numerically or alphabetically); if you select the lower triangle, you will get a descending sort order in the table display. (Note that this feature is not available if you use Mozilla as your standard browser.)

Notes:

1. When you logon to the Tamino Manager, you must use the user ID and password combination that is allowed as Tamino Administrator. The user ID can take the form domain/userID (Windows: domain\userID), where domain is the domain name within your local network and userID is your user ID.
2. The Tamino Manager shares the System Management Hub with other Software AG products, some of which may be installed together with Tamino or which may already be installed on your system. These products have their own documentation.

Keyboard Navigation in the System Management Hub Window

You can use some of the keys on your keyboard to navigate within and between the two frames of the System Management Hub.

• Use the TAB key to move from one frame to another.

• Use the following keys to navigate within a tree:

  • Cursor up key: move up to the next object.

  • Cursor down key: move down to the next object.

  • Cursor right key: open a sublevel in the tree.

  • Cursor left key: close a sublevel in the tree.

• In the detail frame, use the TAB key to move from one input field or command button to the next input field or command button.

Tree Views

In the tree-view frame, you can expand or collapse the tree structure by clicking on the plus (+) or minus (-) sign in front of an object. You can single-click on an object to select it - in this case, details about this object are displayed in the detail-view frame, but the object is not expanded (on the other hand, expanding an object does not select it).

To refresh the display

• Choose Refresh from the context menu to refresh the contents of the tree-view frame. The Refresh command updates the selected node or object in the tree-view. Depending on the selected object, the parent and child nodes are also updated. To refresh the detail view frame, click on the selected tree-view object again. The Refresh command is always available.

  Warning: you must not use the browser's Refresh button to refresh the display - this will close your session.

Alerts

Alerts are issued if errors or other events are encountered while processing a job. There are four levels of severity:

Icon	Severity
	Warning
	Error
	Fatal
	Information only

Alerts are acknowledged using the Job Monitor. Please refer to the section Confirming Pending Alerts for further information.

Database Traffic Light

The status of the database is indicated by a traffic light icon. The traffic light can take one of the following states:

Color	Meaning
Red	The database is stopped (inactive).
Yellow	The database is in standby mode (active, but no user transactions accepted), or it is an active replication database.
Green	The database is running (active).
