Console

The adTempus Console is the primary user interface for adTempus, used to monitor and configure adTempus.

The Console is similar to the Microsoft Management Console and other administrative tools. The Console is divided into two main sections:

• The left section provides a "tree" view of the connected servers and the views available for each.

• Selecting a node (or "folder") in the tree displays the associated "view" on the right side of the Console. Each view is used to work with a different kind of object in adTempus. See the Help Contents for information on each of the views.

Most commands are issued through the pop-up menus associated with the tree nodes and the views. Right-clicking a node, view, or item in a view will display a menu of available commands.

The Console can be used to administer any number of adTempus servers. To establish a new connection, use the Connect Server command on the File menu.

Within the Console all dates and times are by default show using adjusted for the time zone of the server. For your convenience the clock in the adTempus status bar shows the time on the client and the time on the server. If you prefer, you can have dates and times shown in your local time zone instead using the settings available in the Console Options window.

The active view is automatically refreshed at the interval you specify in the Console Options. You can refresh the Console at any time by pressing F5 or selecting Refresh from the View menu.

Throughout the Console, only those objects for which you have View permission are visible, and permissions may restrict your ability to modify these objects.

The icons for some of the nodes in the Console Tree change based on the status of the jobs or other items they contain. For example, the Failed Jobs node will display a red error symbol when it contains failed jobs to review.
