User Manual: SAP DB 62 SAP AG November 2002 If you do not have a Windows operating system, you can only use Database Manager clients Database Manager CLI [Page 133] and Web DBM to monitor database instances. Web DBM provides you with basically the same functionality as the Database Manager GUI [Page 134]. Operation depends on the Web-based application. See also: Architecture of the SAP DB Web Tools [Page 57] Differences between Web DBM and Database Manager GUI With the Database Manager GUI, you can monitor several database instances simultaneously. With the Web DBM, you can only monitor one database instance at a time. When you log on, you enter the database instance that you want to monitor. If you want to switch to another database instance, you must log off, and log on again entering the new database instance. It is possible to open several browsers simultaneously. In this way, you can monitor a different database instance in each browser with the Web DBM. In contrast to the Database Manager GUI, a timeout may occur when working with the Web DBM. This results in the connection to the database instance being broken. If this happens, you must log on again. Set-up of the Web DBM All administrative functions are executed in the window of the Web DBM. The functions are divided up into the same groups as in the Database Manager GUI. The colored symbols (green dots and red squares) indicate whether an administrative function can be used in the database instance in its present state. There is no menu bar or toolbar of the kind found in the Database Manager GUI. Instead of a list of database instances registered in the Database Manager GUI, the Web DBM displays the detailed status of the database instance. The most important values displayed in the status have a link that takes you to the relevant function. The functions for starting and stopping the database instance are at the bottom of the status display. The work area is located below the status display. The subsequent web pages corresponding to the selected administrative function are displayed here. The structure of these web page is similar to the corresponding screens in the Database Manager GUI. The bottom of these pages often contains a toolbar with the available administrative functions. [. . . ] Apache must be installed separately or configured. For more information, see the Installation Guide Web Tools: SAP DB 7. 4 [See SAP DB Library]. Web DBM and Web SQL are operating-system-independent.
