Middleware descriptors provide information about different
middleware platform types including middleware discovery intervals,
enablement, and installation information.
Before you begin
If you want to add or change installation information to the
middleware descriptor, you must know the installation paths of the
middleware software that you want to configure.
About this task
You can edit the following middleware descriptors that are
provided with the product:
- Application server
- Apache HTTP server
- JBoss server
- PHP server
- Apache Tomcat server
- BEA WebLogic server
- Custom HTTP server
- WebSphere® Application Server
Community Edition server
Procedure
- Edit middleware platform descriptor properties. In
the administrative console, click
If you are using an Apache, WebSphere Application Server
Community Edition, or PHP runtime: Configure
the interval at which the discovery function of the middleware platform
runs. Supply a Discovery interval and units for this discovery
interval in seconds, minutes, hours, or days. To disable middleware
discovery, enter -1 in the Discovery interval field.
Click OK to save these changes. This automated discovery is
supported for Apache ,WebSphere Application Server
Community Edition, and PHP runtimes
only.
- Edit the middleware platform version details. Click
the version that you want to edit. The version properties vary depending
on the middleware platform type, for example, for some types, you
can edit the session affinity descriptor.
For Apache
Web servers, WebSphere Application Server
Community Edition servers, and PHP
servers:
If you installed the phpRuntime,
wasceRuntime, or apacheWebServerRuntime to a location other
than the default path, you can edit the installation location. You
can also define multiple installation locations. Do
not include installation locations for server installations for which
discovery is not preferred, such as centralized installation manager
installations of WebSphere Application Server Community Edition. If
you change or remove an installation location from which servers have
previously been discovered, changes to those servers are no longer
discovered.
Results
When enabled, automated discovery can run for Apache
, WebSphere Application Server
Community Edition, and
PHP runtimes that you configured.
