Introduction to Using the Application View Console

Use the Application View Console to access, organize, and edit all application views in your enterprise. You can use the Application View Console to create new folders and to add new application views to the folders. These folders allow you to organize your application views according to your own navigation scheme, regardless of the adapter to which the application view belongs.

Steps for Using the Application View Console

This section explains how to organize application views into folders using the Application View Console. The actual folders you set up depend on your organization.

Logging On to the Application View Console

The first step in managing application views is to log on to the Application View Console. To log on:

1. Launch a browser window.

2. Open the URL for your system's Application View Console. The actual URL you enter depends on your system. It should follow the format:

   http://<yourserver>:<yourport>/wlai

   For example, http://wli1:7001/wlai

   The logon page is displayed.

   
   
   
    
   
   
    

   Note: If you have already logged in to WebLogic Server as system, then you will automatically skip the Application View Console logon page.

3. To log on to the Application View Console, enter your WebLogic Server username and password, then click OK. The Application View Console is displayed.
   
   
    

Creating a Folder

Create folders to organize the application views in your enterprise. Folders can contain application views and other folders. Once you create a folder, you cannot move it to another folder, and you can remove the folder only if it is empty. Once you create an application view in a folder, you can remove the application view, but you cannot move it to another folder. To create a folder:

1. While logged on to the Application View Console, navigate to the folder where you want to create the new folder.
   
   
    

2. Click the New Folder icon. The Add Folder page is displayed.
   
   
    

3. In the New Folder field, enter a name. Valid characters are a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and _ (underscore).

4. Click Save.

Removing an Application View

Remove application views when they become obsolete or the application is retired.

You can remove an application view only if the following conditions are true:

• You have undeployed the application view. (See Undeploying an Application View.) That is, the application view status reads Not Deployed.

• You are logged on to WebLogic Server using a user account that has the appropriate write privileges.

To remove an application view:

1. While logged on to the Application View Console, navigate to the folder where the target application view is located.
   
   
    

2. Click Remove to delete the application view.

Removing a Folder

Remove folders that are no longer needed. Before you can remove a folder, you must remove all of its application views and subfolders. To remove a folder:

1. While logged on to the Application View Console, navigate to the folder where the target folder is located.
   
   
    

2. Click Remove to delete the folder. A confirmation page is displayed.
   
   
    

3. Click Confirm to delete the folder.
