Managing application servers

You can use either the administrative console or command-line tools to manage your application servers.

Before you begin

If you plan to change the system clock, stop the application server first. After you stop the server, change the system clock, and then restart the server. If you change the system clock on one system, you must ensure the clocks on all systems that communicate with each other, and have the product installed, are synchronized. Otherwise, you might experience errors, such as security tokens no longer being valid.

About this task

During the installation process, the product creates a default application server, named server1. You can use either the administrative console or command-line tools to manage this application server. However, if you create additional application servers, then you must use command-line tools to manage those other application servers.

You can perform the following steps to view and manage the default application server from the administrative console.

Procedure

  1. In the administrative console click Servers > Application servers.

    The Application servers page lists the application servers in your environment and the status of each of these servers. You can use this page to monitor the default server.

  2. Click server1 to view or change the configuration settings for the default server.
  3. Click Apply, and then click Save to save any configuration changes that you made.
  4. Click Synchronize changes with nodes if you want to force node synchronization now and save your changes to the master repository. If you don't click Synchronize changes with nodes than the changes will note be applied across the node until normal node synchronization occurs.

Results

When you click Servers > Application servers > server_name, you should see any configuration changes you made, and when you click Servers > Application servers each server should be in the appropriate start or stop state.

What to do next

You can deploy applications or components to your application servers.
