Since Oracle Collaboration Suite is a robust product, it makes sense that it is equipped with robust management functionality. Oracle Collaboration Suite provides three Web interfaces for managing your Oracle Collaboration Suite installation. These three controls are known collectively as Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g.
Enterprise Manager uses a Web-based architecture which is robust, reliable, globally scalable, and easy to deploy and operate. Oracle Collaboration Suite administrators can perform all necessary management tasks, including real-time use and performance monitoring, configuration, and control operations such as starting and stopping processes. Enterprise Manager offers the option of cooperative management since it makes Oracle Collaboration Suite accessible from anywhere, using a standard Web browser.
Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Application Server Control Console for Collaboration Suite is an extension of Application Server Control that enables you to locally monitor and manage Oracle Collaboration Suite Applications tier components: Oracle Calendar, Oracle Discussions, Oracle Mail, Oracle Content Services, Oracle Real-time Collaboration, Oracle Mobile Collaboration, Oracle Voicemail & Fax, Oracle Workspaces and Oracle Collaboration Suite Search. Each of these components provides you with a home page where you can administer them remotely.
See the section, "Introduction to Application Server Control for Collaboration Suite" in Chapter 3 of Oracle Collaboration Suite Administrator's Guide for more information about Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Application Server Control Console for Collaboration Suite.

Grid Control is an optional add-on tool which links to all of your Application Server and Oracle Collaboration Suite instances, allowing you to centrally manage all the Applications tier components of Oracle Collaboration Suite.
Grid Control is not installed with Oracle Collaboration Suite, but it can be installed from a separate installation CD-ROM that is part of the Oracle Collaboration Suite CD–ROM pack.
The Grid Control Console provides administrators with a wider view of their enterprise so they can manage multiple Oracle Collaboration Suite instances. In addition, the Grid Control Console provides a robust feature set designed to help you manage all aspects of your enterprise, including your Oracle databases, hosts, listeners, and other components.
See the section, "Introduction to Grid Control" in Chapter 3 of Oracle Collaboration Suite Administrator's Guide for more information about Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control.

Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Database Control is installed and configured when you install the Oracle Collaboration Suite database. As a result, you can use Database Control Console to manage the OracleAS Metadata Repository database. The functionality for managing the OracleAS Metadata Repository database can also be found in Grid Control.
The Database Control Console is similar to the Enterprise Manager Application Server Control Console, but it is used strictly for managing your Oracle Database. The Database Control Console provides a Web-based user interface for performing a wide variety of database management tasks.
See the section, "Introduction to the Database Control Console" in Chapter 3 of Oracle Collaboration Suite Administrator's Guide for more information about Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Database Control.
