Use the Command Assistant wizard to create,
modify, and delete the following physical runtime components:
- Brokers
- Configuration Managers
- User Name Servers
Using the wizard, you access the equivalent command line command through
a graphical interface:
The wizard displays a series of panels that lead you through the task
that you want to complete. The wizard provides help, in the banner at the
top of each panel, that indicates what actions you should take to complete
the panel and continue. Not every optional parameter on each of these commands
is supported through the wizard; if you are using some of the more advanced
features (for example, setting or modifying LDAP directory access for a broker),
you must use the command line interface.
Use the buttons displayed at
the bottom of each panel to move Back to the previous
panel, to move to the Next panel, to Finish working
with the wizard, or to Cancel the current action and
end the wizard.
- Switch to the Broker Application Development perspective or the Broker Administration
perspective.
- Select . The New dialog
opens.
- Select Command Assistant Wizard within the Broker
Administration - Getting Started category and click Next. The wizard opens and displays its first panel.
- Select the type of component that you want to work with. The wizard checks which components have been installed on this system.
You must select a value from the available list; you cannot enter a different
value.
- Navigate to the Name input field. If the wizard has found any existing components of the type that you
entered, it shows these in this field. If no components of this type exist,
or you want to create a new component, enter a new unique name in this field,
following the naming restrictions enforced by the product and any naming conventions
that are in use in your environment.
The name of a resource is case insensitive.
If a resource of the same name exists, but with characters in a different
case to those that you typed into this field, the name that you typed is overwritten
with the existing name.
- Navigate to the Action input field and choose
the action that you want to complete. The wizard prevents you from
entering an invalid action for the resource that you have entered in the Name field.
For example, if you have entered a name that the wizard has not found on this
system, you can choose only to create a new resource. If the resource already
exists, you can choose to modify it or delete it.
- If you have more than one installation of the product on this system,
select the correct value in the Location field. This field displays the home directory of the installation identified
by the wizard:
- If only one installation exists on this system, the directory is displayed
and the field is read-only.
- If you have specified an existing, uniquely named, resource in the Name field,
the wizard displays the location of the installation that is associated with
that resource, and the field is read-only.
- If more than one installation exists, and might be the target for your
request, select the correct location in this field.
- Click Next. The wizard displays
the next panel, the content of which depends on your choices so far.
Use
the help that is displayed by the wizard on each panel, and navigate
through the entry fields, selecting or entering text where appropriate.
If
you enter a password, the characters are displayed as asterisk characters
in the entry field to increase security.
- When you have completed the entry field on the panel, click Next. The wizard displays a summary that shows you the commands that will
be invoked, and any additional actions that will be taken.
- Check the information in the summary; if it is correct, click Next.
If you want to change anything, click Back to
return to a previous panel and change your input.
- The wizard starts processing your request. If
the action succeeds, the wizard displays messages in the summary panel.
If
an action fails, the wizard reports the error in a message dialog. If you
know what is causing the error, and can fix it, correct the error and click Yes.
The wizard reissues the command.
If you do not know what is causing
the error, or you cannot fix it, click No. The wizard
backs out any actions that have already completed and returns your system
to its initial state.
- Click Finish to end the wizard, or click Next to
return to the first page and select another task to complete.
