| Generate Plug-in |
When the plug-in configuration service is enabled, a plug-in configuration file is automatically generated for a web server whenever:
|
| Propagate Plug-in | Choose this action will copy the plugin-cfg.xml file from the local directory where the Application Server is installed to the remote machine. If we are using IBM HTTP Server V6 or higher for the web server, WAS can automatically propagate the plug-in configuration file to remote machines provided there is a working HTTP transport mechanism to propagate the file. |
| New | Launches the wizard to create a new web server entry. |
| Delete | Delete one or more of the selected web server entries. |
| Templates ... | Opens the web server templates list panel. From this panel we can create a new template or delete existing templates. |
| Start | Starts one or more of the selected web servers. |
| Stop | Stops one or more of the selected web servers. |
| Terminate | Terminates one or more of the selected web servers. |
Name
Logical name for the web server. This can be the host name of the machine, or any name you choose.
Web server type
Indicates the type of web server you are using.
Node
Logical name for the web server. This can be the host name of the machine, or any name you choose.
Name of the node on which the web server is defined. This column only applies for the WAS Network Deployment product.
Version
Version of the WAS on which the web server is defined.
Status
Indicates whether the web server is started, stopped, or unavailable.
If IBM HTTP Server is defined on an unmanaged node, you must start the IBM HTTP Server administration server before we can start and stop IBM HTTP Server.
If the status is unavailable, the node agent or IBM HTTP Server administration server is not running in that node, and you must start the node agent before we can start the web server.
| Status Indicator | Resulting Action | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
| Started | The web server is running. |
|
| Stopped | The web server is not running. |
|
| Unknown | Status cannot be determined.
A web server with an unknown status might, in fact, be running but has an unknown status because the application server running the console cannot communicate with this web server. |
