What has to be installed to run the SAP MC as a browser applet, on the server side and on the client side?

An AS Java instance won't finish starting and you suspect a JVM memory problem, but only sapstartsrv is up. Beyond start/stop, what can the SAP MC show you?

You need to script starting and stopping instances across several hosts without a GUI. Which tool do you use, and how do you find out its syntax?

The Config Tool is often called an offline tool, so can you use it while the database is stopped?

You want to change a Java VM parameter of AS Java. Can you do it in the SAP NetWeaver Administrator?

Another administrator can see an NWA function that is missing from your screen. What most likely controls which work sets and functions you see?

In a standard AS Java delivery, from which host can you open the Shell Console over telnet, and how do you allow it from another machine?

The Shell Console Administrator can configure managers and services across all cluster instances. Is it the right tool for that job?

You want to watch the status of several SAP systems from a single console. Does the SAP MC support that, and are there non-applet variants?

The Config Tool needs database credentials to connect. Where does it normally get them, and where does the tool itself live?

Which tool took over the role of the old Visual Administrator for online configuration of AS Java, and from which release?
