2.3 Accessing Other Machines on a Network

The Machines page of the Oracle Administration window enables you, as the Oracle Tuxedo system administrator, to access any machine (where you have login privileges) on the Microsoft Windows Network running Microsoft Windows Server. You can then set environment variables remotely; determine the location of Oracle Tuxedo event logging; add, remove, stop, or start tlisten services; and tune IPC resources.

To access a remote machine, locate and click the machine’s icon on the network tree. If you know the name of a remote machine, but do not know its work group, perform the following steps to select it:

1. In the lower right-hand corner of the Machines page, click Select to display the Enter Machine Name dialog box.

   Figure 2-3 Enter Machine Name

   
2. In the Enter Machine Name dialog box, enter the name of the remote machine (for example, \\intrepid) and click OK.

At this point, all subsequent actions performed on other pages (Environment, Logging, Listener, and IPC Resources) in the Oracle Administration window will take place on the selected machine (intrepid in this example).
