GUI Access

The CA 3Tera AppLogic dashboard is the primary interface to a grid. It displays the hardware configuration and the current status of the grid, shows how many applications are currently running and how much resources are allocated to them, displays the list of currently installed applications and allows you to create, configure and manage applications.

    Note: The gridname is most likely your company's name.

    The prompt to enter your user name and password appears.

  2. Enter your user name and password.

    If you are logging in for the first time, the License Agreement page appears followed by the grid's dashboard page. Else, the grid's dashboard page appears.
