The navigation bar at the top of the console window contains the main menu. The main menu provides access to submenus, which open in the left pane, that give access to all iWay Service Manager functions. These menus can be used to configure, monitor, and diagnose channels, data sources, and display system properties.

The following table lists and describes the main menu options.

Option	Description
Server	Displays the iWay Service Manager General Properties pane. The submenus on the left enable you to configure server-level settings.
Registry	Displays the iWay Service Manager general registry properties. The registry is used to define and manage resources within the design-time repository of iWay Service Manager. This registry gives access to the configuration of resources such as adapters, emitters, listeners, services, and encryptors.
Deployments	Displays information related to the run-time configuration of the iWay Service Manager, including the settings for each channel and the current status of each channel.
Tools	Displays the iWay Service Manager log viewer, and gives access to the iWay Service Manager package management facilities. In addition, this pane allows you to configure access handlers for the iWay Trading Manager and the iWay Enterprise Index. These handlers control run-time access to the repository for these products.
Managed Servers	Clicking the Managed Servers link displays the Server Management pane, which allows you to add new server configurations and users. The drop-down list enables you to select which of your defined server configurations to manage.
iWay Software Technical Support	Launches a browser accessing the iWay Software Technical Support Web site, where you can open support cases, review open cases, and perform other maintenance and research tasks.
Check Web for Updates	Provides current release and installation information and enables you to download updates.
Help	Provides access to the Welcome pages, online documentation, a glossary, and Javadoc. For more information, see iWay Service Manager Help Window.
Restart	Recycles iWay Service Manager to put into effect any new configuration changes that have been made. This does not restart the underlying JVM, so parameters at that level will not be reloaded.
Licenses	Displays information about your license file, including the iWay Software adapters you are authorized to run.
About	Provides information about the installed software and general licensing information.
