This topic lists the proxy servers in the cell. A proxy server resides within a WAS ND node.

A proxy server is used to classify, prioritize, and route HTTP and SIP requests to servers in the enterprise as well as cache content from servers. You can use this page to create, delete, or modify a proxy server.

Currently, configuring the proxy server to route work to a V6 WAS - Express cell requires advanced configuration.

To configure the proxy server to route work to an appserver which is not an IBM WAS or a pre-V6 WebSphere Application Server cell, the following advanced configuration is required:

  1. Define a generic server cluster. From the console, click...

  2. Define a URI group. From the console, click...

    Environment | URI Groups

  3. Create routing rules. From the console, click...

Both generic server clusters and URI groups are also accessible in the console under Related Items for the proxy server.

Name

Specify a logical name for the proxy server. For WebSphere Application Server, server names must be unique within a node.

If you have multiple nodes in a cluster, the server names must also be unique within the cluster. You cannot use the same server name within two nodes that are part of the same cluster. WAS uses the server name for administrative actions, such as referencing the server in scripting.

Node

The name of the node where the proxy server resides.

V

Indicates the WAS version you are running.

Protocol

Indicates the protocol or protocols that the proxy server is configured to handle. This information is based on the types of transport channels that are included in the transport chains that are configured for the proxy server.

For example, if a transport chain includes an HTTP channel, HTTP displays in this field. If a transport chain includes both a SIP and an HTTP channel, SIP,HTTP displays in this field.

Status

Indicates whether the proxy server is started, stopped, or unavailable.

If the status is unavailable, the node agent is not running in that node and restart the node agent before you can start the server.
