Administering

 offers several management tools that you can use to manage the  environment.

Grid Manager resides on the configuration distribution peer (CDP) server. Using  Grid Manager, IT administrators gain efficiency with real-time views and control over grid components. Grid Manager houses all grid component configuration files, enabling easy distribution and updates of configuration information. The administration and management of operations process modules also resides within Grid Manager. Administrators can control or terminate scheduled processes, and manage peers, peer components, and adapters to handle issues that arise or accommodate maintenance windows.

You can configure multiple databases in Grid Manager to store audit records, grid metrics, process metrics, and business metrics. The database configuration requires an initialized instance of a database, designated for records or metrics collection.

The roles associated with your logon ID determine which Grid Manager functions you can access and which tabs are displayed on the screen.

The Grids tab is the default tab available when you click the Manage tab. You might need to select the Manage tab and then select the Grids tab to access the grid list.
