Administering the Web GUI server

Perform these tasks to administer the Web GUI server.

  • Restarting the server
    After customization and configuration activities you might need to restart the Web GUI server.
  • Viewing the application server profile
    Open the application server profile to review the port number assignments and other information.
  • Changing the timeout setting
    You can change the period of time after which users are automatically logged out of the Web GUI.
  • Launching the administrative console
    Certain configuration or administration tasks in the Web GUI or the underlying instance of Tivoli Integrated Portal can be performed only from the administrative console.
  • Changing the password for the connection to the ObjectServer
    If the password of the user specified for the connection between the ObjectServer and the Web GUI is changed, the new password must be set on the Web GUI server.
  • Administering timed tasks
    Timed tasks are the key part to a Web GUI server automatically loading changes in configuration data, without the need to restart the server. You manage timed tasks through properties in the Web GUI initialization file (server.init).
  • Querying the event database
    You can run the full range of ObjectServer SQL commands and perform queries against ObjectServer data.
  • Copying data between Web GUI servers
    The Web GUI has a utility to copy selected data from one server to another.
  • Backing up and restoring data
    To prevent the loss of information in the event of a disaster, and for disaster recovery, back up your installation of the Web GUI and the Tivoli Integrated Portal.
