Oracle MaxRep for SAN provides an Oracle MaxRep Support User Interface (Support UI) that allows you to configure all of the Oracle MaxRep Replication Engines that are accessible in your network environment.
The Support UI issues commands to the Oracle MaxRep Support Agent. When using this interface, you do not need log into the Replication Engine server as root at the OS level: all changes are managed by the Support Agent.
The Support UI runs from a web page that is separate from the Oracle MaxRep for SAN software. The interface is divided into two groups: Task Status and Audit Logs, and Management Tasks.
The Task Status and Audit Logs group includes the following items:
Dashboard Provides an overview of the Oracle MaxRep Replication Engine
network configuration and health. You can access many of the management tasks from this page by clicking the edit icon ( ) next to the status item.
Task Status Provides a summary of the pending, in progress, and completed
tasks.
Audit Logs Provides a summary of the completed tasks and activity by the
Support UI.
The Management Tasks group includes the following items:
