Oracle Server Manager User's Guide

Server Manager Menus

Server Manager includes four main pull-down menus:

File

Edit

Window

Help

Some windows include other menus as well. For example, when you open the Tablespaces folder in the Administration Manager, a pull-down menu called Tablespace is added to the menu bar.

When a menu item is dimmed, it is not currently available. Menu items that end with an ellipsis (...) indicate that you will be asked to enter more information to complete the command.

File Menu

The File menu items allow you to open or close Server Manager windows and create new connections.

The following figure illustrates the File menu.

Figure 1 - 2. File Menu

The File menu is described below:

Connect Displays the Connect dialog box to connect to an instance and open an Administration window for that database.
Administration Window Brings the associated Administration window forward, or displays a new Administration window.
New Worksheet Starts a new SQL Worksheet.
Monitor Displays the Monitor dialog box, which allows you to choose a System Monitor to start.
Close Closes the current window.
Exit Exits Server Manager.

The Administration window, New Worksheet, and Monitor menu items are only available from a window connected to an instance. These items display a window associated with that connection.

Edit Menu

The Edit menu contains the standard editing menu items for your platform. These commands are useful when editing text in the SQL Worksheet or in the filters in the System Monitors. On some platforms, these editing capabilities may also be available for use in dialog boxes, although sometimes via keyboard equivalents only.

The following figure illustrates the Edit menu.

Warning: The Undo menu item, when available, undoes the last edit you performed on text. It does not undo the last operation performed on the database you are administering.

Window Menu

The Window menu contains a list of all the Server Manager windows you have open. To bring a window forward, choose its name from the Window menu.

The following figure illustrates a sample Window menu.
