Middleware nodes and servers

The term middleware server refers to a server on any middleware platform. Middleware servers include the following types: WebSphere® Application Server, Liberty profile servers, Apache Tomcat servers, JBoss servers, BEA WebLogic servers, PHP servers, and so on.

Support

Intelligent Management offers enhanced support for environments outside of the product domain. Application servers that run on other middleware platforms are represented more thoroughly in the product administrative domain because the node agent is installed on these machines. The application placement controller can manage dynamic clusters that are made up of these server types. Some health management is also supported for the other middleware platform servers.

Middleware server types

Definition

The Intelligent Management support is specific for each of the following server categories: complete, discovered, and assisted lifecycle servers.

Management

You can manage certain aspects of assisted lifecycle and discovered middleware servers with the administrative console.

  • With Server operations, you can run a Java or non-Java executable file on your middleware server from the administrative console.
  • With the Log viewer, you can view the log files for your middleware servers from the administrative console.
  • With External configuration, you can configure the administrative console so that you can view and edit configuration documents for your middleware servers.

Other Intelligent Management management functions, such as dynamic clusters, health policies, service policies, runtime tasks, and reporting, offer varied support for assisted lifecycle and discovered middleware servers.
