Hi Friends
I have installed the SharePoint 2010 on my AMD 32 bit machine.
This is the Central Administration Screen of SharePoint 2010.Doesn’t it looks cool? Yes It is.
It also provides many fantastic features. Let us look at some of features overview by Sections.
Application Management
This is the one of the section where we perform a number of operations like create new Web applications and site collections, manage the services that are installed on SharePoint site like Excel Services or BCS ,manage content database. (The content database is the database which stores SharePoint data per web application wise, and is the reason why SharePoint takes a dependency on SQL Server upon installation.)
Application management provides so many options by which we can accomplish tasks such as
- Modifying the properties of the content database
- Activating features, creating new site collections
- So many J
Let us display names of all sections under Application Management.
Monitoring
Monitoring is a section where we can manage reporting, monitoring, and the status of your SharePoint site.
The Monitoring site has main three portions:
Ø Review problems and solutions or Health status: Health status provides a place for you to manage the status of different services on your SharePoint server (such as Visio services or farm-level services). You can see which services are failing, for example, through reports that are surfaced here. Health status also enables you to define rules (such as the scheduling of application pool recycles). View the problems detected by the SharePoint Health Analyzer and take steps to solve those problems.
Ø Timer jobs: we can provide details for a specific timer jobs to run, and when to run them and view the status and results for the last execution of timer jobs that are enabled in the farm.
