Use the administrative clients

The product provides a variety of administrative clients for deploying and administering your applications and application serving environment, including configurations and logical administrative domains.

 

Steps for this task (dependent on configuration)

  • Using the administrative console

    The administrative console is a graphical, browser-based tool.

  • Getting started with scripting

    Scripting is a non-graphical alternative that use to configure and administer your applications and application serving environment. The WebSphere Application Server wsadmin tool provides the ability to run scripts. The wsadmin tool supports a full range of product administrative activities.

  • Using Ant to automate tasks

    To support using Apache Ant with J2EE applications running on IBM WebSphere Application Server, the product provides a copy of the Ant tool and a set of Ant tasks that extend the capabilities of Ant to include product-specific functions.

  • Using administrative programs (JMX)

    The product supports access to the administrative functions through a set of Java classes and methods, under the Java Management Extensions (JMX) specification. We can write a Java program that performs any of the administrative features of the other administrative clients. You also can extend the basic product administrative system to include your own managed resources.

  • Using command line tools

    Several command-line tools are available that use to start, stop, and monitor WebSphere server processes and nodes. These tools work on local servers and nodes only. They cannot operate on a remote server or node.
