Using HATS administrative console

The HATS administrative interface can be used to manage connections and perform problem determination for HATS Web applications. This chapter describes how you can use these management functions. For information related to HATS rich client applications, see Administering HATS rich client applications.

Instead of including the HATS administrative console support files in each .ear file, you can create an .ear file that contains only HATS administrative console files. When you deploy this .ear file, you can start the HATS administrative console and change the management scope to remotely manage HATS applications in multiple .ear files with one instance of the administrative console. The deployed HATS administrative console application gives you a single point of administration for all HATS applications. When you create a new HATS project, you specify whether to include HATS administrative console files in the project. If you create a HATS administrative console project, you no longer need to add the administration support files to other projects you create.

To create a HATS administrative console project in HATS Toolkit, follow the path File > New > Project > HATS > HATS Administration Project. You should specify an Enterprise Application project name that uniquely identifies this project as the HATS administrative console project. The HATS administrative console project only appears in HATS Toolkit on the Navigator tab. Deploy the .ear file you created to WebSphere® Application Server and start it (see Starting HATS administrative console). To change the scope of management for the HATS administrative console project, refer to Selecting management scope.

Other administration topics are described in Display terminal functions.
