Customizing Your Business Views › Unicenter MP Administration › Administration Wizard

Administration Wizard

Unicenter MP provides an Administration Wizard to guide you through the most commonly used administration tasks. The UMP Administration Wizard is the default workplace for users with admin privileges. Also, as a member of the Admin workgroup, you can access the UMP Administration Wizard from the Knowledge Library under Administration by clicking _UMP Administration Wizard.

Note: Only members of the Admin workgroup have access to the UMP Administration Wizard. The Admin workgroup is a default workgroup defined by Unicenter MP.

From the wizard, you can launch the following tasks:

Task 1: Manage Components

Establishes a connection to hosts running other CA components, such as WorldView, Agent Technology, and Event Management. Defining a host as a data source lets Unicenter MP obtain and display data from that host. Complete Task 1 before moving on to other tasks.

Task 2: Create or Modify Unicenter MP Portlets

Lets you define scoreboards or dashboards, which are real-time, query-based summary views of your data. Scoreboards and dashboards appear in the Unicenter MP Library, making them available to your Unicenter MP users.

Task 3: Manage Scheduled Tasks

Lets you select a scheduled task and change the status, suspend execution, reset the next execution, resume a suspended execution, or delete the task.

Task 4: Portal Administration

Launches CleverPath Portal Administration, letting you perform administrative tasks such as creating users, creating workgroups, assigning users to workgroups, and more. Unicenter MP is based on CleverPath Portal technology.

Task 5: Manage Users

Manages user profiles by letting you add, edit, or remove users and assign them to workgroups.

Task 6: Manage Workgroups

Lets you define, edit, or remove user workgroups. Workgroups help organize users into logical business groups, such as systems administrators, business users, and mail administrators. As members of a workgroup, users inherit permissions assigned to the entire group.

Task 7: Manage Unicenter Management Portal Properties

Configures properties for Unicenter Configuration Management, Service Level Agreements (SLAs), Business Process Views (BPVs), scoreboards, reports, the knowledge base, IPv6 addresses, and security.

Task 8: Manage Security Profiles

Lets you define, edit, or delete security profiles. Security profiles control access to specific data and controls for all actions you can perform. Assigning a security profile to each workgroup further defines the security permissions for that workgroup.

Task 9: Manage Global User Preferences

Lets you define or edit user preferences. Although users can specify personal display and data handling preferences, you can override individual preference settings for all users, if needed.

Task 10: Manage Web Reporting Servers

Establishes connections to hosts running Web Reporting Server (WRS), making the reports running on these servers available to Unicenter MP users.

Task 11: Manage Unicenter Management Portal Security Reports

Lets you view the Unicenter MP reports related to Documents, Channels, Workplace Templates, Menu Actions, BPVs, SLAs, and Event Filters.
