Description of "Figure 18-2 CSW Administration Console"

Before you can use any administration console page, select a CSW data source from the list of all available data source names. (The currently selected data source is shown in the upper-right corner, and you can change it there at any time.)

You can access the CSW administration console by going to the following URL:

http://<system-name>:<port>/oraclespatial/

The user interface for the CSW administration console allows you to edit configurations, test, and diagnose problems. It comprises the following tabs:

• Test

  The Test tab enables you to quickly generate and invoke getCapabilities, describeRecord, getRecords, and getRecordByID operations to test and query the CSW service and catalog data. You can edit the query statements based on spatial and nonspatial constraints.

• Log

  The Log tab shows any errors generated during CSW operations processing, which can help you diagnose any possible problems.

• Service Configuration

  The Service Configuration tab lets you edit and update the CSWConfig.xml file.
