Whenever possible, we recommend that all OES management be performed by using browser-based
tools. This ensures that all the system commands required to execute various tasks are performed in
proper order and that none of them is skipped by mistake.
Table 11-1 is a quick reference for accessing information about the OES management tools. Specific
instructions for the tasks listed are located in the administration guides and other documentation for
the services that each tool manages.
