To define middleware servers, you can use middleware server templates
and middleware descriptors. To manage middleware servers that are defined,
you can view your middleware server log files and configuration files in the
administrative console and configure server operations to run on your middleware
servers.
Before you begin
To configure middleware server templates, middleware server operations,
the external configuration service, or the external log viewing service, you
must create the middleware server. See
Adding middleware servers to configurations for
more information.
You can configure middleware descriptors before or after
you add your middleware servers.
Procedure
- Configure middleware descriptors. Middleware descriptors
provide information about your middleware platform, such as the installation
location and the interval at which an installation can be discovered, if discovery
applies to your specific platform. See Configuring middleware descriptors for
more information.
- Define middleware server templates. By creating a middleware
server template, you copy all of the configuration data for that server so
that you can create other servers from the template. If you have many middleware
servers with a similar configuration, middleware server templates can make
this configuration easier. See Creating middleware server templates
- Configure middleware server operations. You can use
middleware server operations to run executable files on your middleware servers
from the administrative console. Middleware operations can perform tasks such
as enabling or disabling tracing, starting or stopping servers, or querying
the running state of the server. See Configuring middleware server operations
- View and edit configuration files for your middleware servers. You can specify the path for the configuration files that you want to
view or edit in the administrative console. See Viewing middleware server configuration files for more information.
- Configure the external log viewing service. With the
external log viewing service, you can view the log files from your middleware
servers in the administrative console. See Configuring the external log viewing service for
more information.
