Exploring the runtime environment by using developer tools

You can use the Runtime Explorer view to browse the available servers. This view shows all of the available servers for the runtime environment as opposed to the Servers view, which shows only those servers that are configured in the workspace. In both the Runtime Explorer and Servers view, you can expand each server to show the configuration for that server.

Before you begin

The application server that the Runtime Explorer view supports is the WebSphere® Application Server Liberty.
