## Interface AdminConsole

-     public interface AdminConsole

  ### Admin Console

  The admin console groups together heap of other tools into one user interface in order to make it easier to find and work with these tools. It also provides you with links to some tools which do not fit into the admin console but are standalone tools.

  To use the Admin Console, make sure you have followed the `full installation instructions` - double check that you have the correct GWT <inherits> as shown in those instructions. Then, launch your GWT project from your IDE, and open a web browser to moduleBaseURL/tools/adminConsole.jsp. For example, if you load your application by going to a URL that ends in builtinds/builtinds.html, the correct URL for the Admin Console is builtinds/tools/adminConsole.jsp.

  If it's not clear what URL to use, you can add the following code to your onModuleLoad() method to create a button that opens the Admin Console:

          IButton adminButton = new IButton("Admin Console");
          adminButton.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler() {
            public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {
              com.smartgwtee.tools.client.SCEE.openDataSourceConsole();
            }
          });
          adminButton.draw();

  NOTE: if you are using Pro Edition, the method to call is com.smartgwtpro.tools.client.SCPRO.openDataSourceConsole(), and for Power Edition, com.smartgwtpower.tools.client.SCPower.openDataSourceConsole().

  The Admin Console UI comes with a number of tabs at the top, each representing a different tool, below you will find a description of what each tab/tool offers.

  Database Configuration

  On this tab you will be able to see any available JNDI connections. If you aren't using JNDI, you can use the GUI to enter and test JDBC settings. Both ConnectionManager and JDBC DataSource settings are supported. Once you've got a working connection, set it as the default connection using the "Set as Default" button.

  Import DataSources

  The database configuration tool allows you to configure database access for DataSources that use Smart GWT's built-in `SQL engine`. See `database configuration tool` for a more in depth explaination of this tool.

  Server Logs

  Just like in the `Developer Console` this will allow you to see the 500 most recent server side log entries.

  SQL Browser

  On this tab you will be able to browse your SQL databases and see the data in their tables.

  Scheduler

  With the scheduler tool you can view, trigger and paus any of your Quartz jobs.

  Other Tools

  Here you will find links to other useful tools which are not appropriate to put into a tab in the Admin Console.
