Application servers are often housed in a centralized location which may not be physically accessible to the system specialist. Server Tools, shown in Figure 10‑19, support performing common Metrics Management server tasks from a workstation, such as viewing the status of server databases and controlling the service on that server.
Figure 10‑19 The Server Tools menu in the Navigation Pane
You access Server Tools by choosing File➛Open Servers and Databases. The server name section of the main window displays a list of servers to which you are connecting. Each server name can be expanded to show the databases available on that server.
To perform operations in Server Tools with User Account Control (UAC) enabled, ensure that Metrics Management is allowed elevated permissions by running Metrics Management as an administrator.
