Layout
The Plug-In Management Web UI is divided into a Search Area
in the top half of the screen and a Search Result and Work Area
in the lower half.
The Search Area
allows you to search for systems according to specific criteria. This enables you to reduce the number of systems that is displayed in the Work Area
. The Search Area
is hidden by default.
For more information, see Plug-In Management Web UI - Searching and Refreshing Data.
At the left side of the Work Area
, a small black triangle is displayed. Clicking on the triangle opens a small box that contains Related Links
to related functions. Clicking on a link in the box opens the corresponding function using SAP NetWeaver Business Client (NWBC) for HTML.
Details on Work Area
The Work Area
displays all systems of your transport landscape that have been found according to the search criteria you specified in the Search Area
.
The Work Area
allows you to perform the actual tasks that are required for the distribution of CTS plug-ins. Validating the systems in your transport landscape is the starting-point in the CTS Plug-In Management Web UI. The validation evaluates whether the CTS Service and CTS Bootstrapper plug-ins need to be updated on the managed systems. The results of the validation are displayed using traffic light icons in the Status
column and using a link in the Plug-In Distribution
column. If the plug-in needs to be updated, the link takes you to a dialog box that lets you distribute the plug-ins.
The following functions are available:
