6.6.3: Administering application servers (overview)
An application server configuration provides information for
starting and managing a server process to handle requests for enterprise
applications and their components.
The WebSphere administrator configures one or more application
servers with settings for:
- Giving the server a unique name by which to manage it
- Associating the server with a unique transport port
- Specifying Java command line arguments and environment variables for starting the
application server process
- Enabling WebSphere security for the server
- Associating the server with an operating system user ID and security group
- Specifying how many times to try to start or ping the server before giving up
- Specifying the process priority on the operating system
- Defining standard in, standard error, standard out streams for the server runtime
- Specifying a working directory
- Conducting transactions
- Specifying tracing of the server and its child components
Regenerating the WebSphere plug-in for the Web server
It is suggested you review the information about administering WebSphere
plug-ins for Web servers, because you will need to regenerate the plug-in configuration
each time you create a new application server.
