Managing the Installation with Visual Manager on Windows
Visual Manager (IVM) is part of the Visual Tools suite available on Windows. It provides a global view into the Vector installation. It serves as a system console from which you can manage Vector components and access other utilities. This utility captures events that are occurring in the system and allows them to be filtered for emphasis, based on your preferences.
IVM allows you to monitor (and start and stop) the different servers in the installation (DBMS, X100, Name, Communications, JDBC, Data Access, Bridge, and Recovery) as well as Remote Command, the Logging and Locking systems, and the Primary Transaction Log and Archiver process. It shows events occurring in the system both at the installation level and the level of each server. Using IVM, you can also edit the Vector system and user environment variable settings.
Visual Manager lets you:
• View the started and stopped components and servers in the installation as well as the history of start/stop events
• Start or stop the entire installation or individual components
• View and edit Vector system and user environment variables
• Control how types of Vector error log messages are handled
• Set preferences for event monitoring and notification
• View and filter events that occurred both at the installation level and the component or server level
• View statistics on these events
• View explanations for error log messages
• Access all Vector visual tools
