Create a proxy cluster: Basic proxy cluster settings

Use this page to enter the basic settings for a proxy cluster. To view this console page, click Servers > Clusters > Proxy server clusters > New.

Proxy cluster name

Name of the proxy cluster. The proxy cluster name must be unique within the cell.

(zos) Short name

Short name for this cluster. This field only appears if you are running on z/OS .

The short name is used as the WLM APPLENV name for all proxy servers that are part of this cluster.

If we specify a short name for a cluster member, the name:

• Must be one to eight characters in length

• Must contain only uppercase alphanumeric characters

• Cannot start with a number

• Must be unique in the cell

If we do not specify a short name, the system assigns a default short name that is automatically unique within the cell. We can change the generated short name to conform with the naming conventions.

Supported Protocols

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 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.
