This page lists the proxy servers in the cell. A proxy server resides within a WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment node. A proxy server is used to classify, prioritize, and route HTTP requests to servers in the enterprise as well as cache content from backend servers. On this page you can create, delete, or modify a proxy server.
To view this administrative console page, click Servers > Proxy Servers . To configure the proxy server to route work to V6 WebSphere Application Servers in another cell, use core group bridge settings (Servers > Core groups > Core group bridge settings ), which sets up communication between cells.
Note: Currently, configuring the proxy server to route work to a V6 WebSphere Application Server - Express cell requires advanced configuration. To configure the proxy server to route work to an application server which is not an IBM WebSphere Application Server or a pre-V6 WebSphere Application Server cell, the following advanced configuration is required:
Note: Both generic server clusters and URI groups are also accessible in the administrative console under Related Items for the proxy server.
Specifies 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. WebSphere uses the server name for administrative actions, such as referencing the server in scripting.
The name of the node where the proxy server resides.
Indicates whether the proxy server is started, stopped, or unavailable.
Note that 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.
