Local and remote test environments

When configuring a test environment, the server can be either a local server (integrated with Application Developer) or a remote server. After the server itself is installed and configured, the server definition within Rational Application Developer is very similar for local and remote servers.

In both the local and remote configurations, Remote Method Invocation (RMI) or SOAP connectors can be used by Rational Application Developer to control the server using Java Management Extensions (JMX). The RMI (ORB bootstrap) port is designed to improve performance and communication with the server. The SOAP connector port is designed to be more firewall compatible and uses HTTP as the base protocol. In the case of local configurations, the Inter Process Communication (IPC) connector is also available and is in fact the recommended connector.
