The Administration API enables you to perform a variety of operations on the administrative objects. These objects fall into two basic categories: universal and creatable.
Oracle SES has one instance of each universal object out of the box. You can change the default settings, but you cannot create a new instance or delete the existing one. In the Administration GUI, you can edit the settings of universal objects on the Global Settings pages.
Table 1-2 describes the universal object types.

Oracle SES may have multiple instances of a creatable type out of the box, or it may have none. You can create new instances and, for most types, modify existing ones. In the Administration GUI, you can create and edit most of these objects on the Home and Search pages.
An object key uniquely identifies a particular instance of a creatable type. The key can be a single value, such as the name of a source, or a composite value, such as the jar file name and class of an identity plug-in. If an object key contains spaces, then all references must be enclosed in quotes in the command-line interface:
--NAME=this_DataSource --NAME="This Data Source"
Table 1-3 describes the creatable objects.
