2.2 Navigate the Oracle Big Data Manager Console

The Oracle Big Data Manager console is displayed in a web browser and contains graphical tools for transferring and analyzing data and managing data providers, and for managing users and roles.

The console has the following main sections, which you can access by clicking the links in the tab bar at the top of the page.

Home

Home has two pages that provide different ways to quickly access tools and controls for viewing and working with data. The Quick Start page directs you to the pages for managing data, registering storage providers, creating pipelines to automate data movement, and analyze data. It also provides a quick link for asking questions.
