DirectConnect Manager is a graphical user interface (GUI) systems management tool that you can use to administer all DirectConnect products. DirectConnect Manager provides the capability to:
Manage DirectConnect servers on multiple platforms.
Change configuration properties of DirectConnect servers, service libraries, and services.
Create and copy services by copying an existing service and giving it a unique name.
Designate a new server using DCDirector.
Start and stop existing servers using DCDirector.
Start, stop, and delete services remotely.
Test the availability of all your data sources.
Retrieve a DirectConnect server log file or a subset of the log, and view log file messages.
Update DirectConnect server connection information.
View the status of a service and data source.
The interface provided by DirectConnect Manager allows you to easily configure and manage all of the data access services directly from your Windows or UNIX platform. As a result, you greatly increase your ability to respond and manage a distributed environment.
You can install DirectConnect Manager and its required components from the DC Client CD.
When you install a DirectConnect product on a Windows
or UNIX platform or machine, you may install DirectConnect Manager
on a separate platform or machine. This allows you to control any
DirectConnect from any machine.
