Manage middleware servers
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 Configure 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 Configure middleware server operations
- View and edit configuration files for your middleware servers. You can specify the path for the configuration files to view or edit in the administrative console. See View 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 Configure the external log viewing service for more information.
