Starting with the graphical administration tool

 Start the Admin Tool

• Go in SAADA_DB_HOME/bin and run admintool

• The admin tools ask first for the database admin password if there is one. The main window is splitted in 2 parts. The left one is a data tree showing the database content and the right one contain the current command panel.
• The title banner shows the current data tree path which is set by clicking on a data tree node.
• By default, any command issued from a command panel is applied to the current data node.
• The back (left arrow) button do not re-open, the previous panel but a programmatically fixed panel.

• All messages printed out can be retrieved from the Database Installation panel, button Open Applicaton Logs (see article).

• Each command panel has 3 buttons on the bottom. from left to right :
  • Run the command
  • Switch on/off the debug mode
  • Download an Ant task file doing the same command

• Below the data tree are 2 buttons
  • Reload Cache reload the meta data. That can be used for instance to monitor external scripts modifying the database content.
  • Deploy Web Application on the Tomcat server. This must be done each time the datat ree has been modified. There is however a smoother way to do this, see this article.
