The Sonic Management Console is the graphical user interface to a set of tools for managing the entire Sonic messaging and application environment, including both Sonic ESB and the required underlying messaging infrastructure, SonicMQ. The Sonic Management Console is the primary way to perform administration and configuration tasks for all services and the elements (such as process definitions) and resources (such as service definitions) that support them.

A command-line tool, called the ESB Admin Tool, can also be used for most of these administrative tasks.

Note: The OpenEdge Adapter for Sonic ESB does not appear in the Sonic Management Console. The Sonic Management Console is the presence of the two OpenEdge Services entries (OpenEdge Native Services and OpenEdge Web Services) in the ESB Configured Objects that indicates that the adapter is installed. Furthermore, the OpenEdge Adapter for Sonic ESB does not appear in the user interface of any OpenEdge tool.

For more information about these Sonic ESB management tools, see the Sonic ESB product documentation.
