Managing application servers roadmap

You can use the Application Servers panel of the administrative console, or command line tools such as startServer and stopServer to manage servers. The administrative console interface is described.

To view information about an server, use the Application Servers panel on the administrative console.

Note: You can upgrade a portion of the nodes in a cell, while leaving others at the older release level. This means that, for a period of time, you may be managing servers that are at the current release and servers that are running the newer release in the same cell. In this mixed environment, there are some restrictions on what you can do with servers that are running the older release level. There are no restrictions on what you can do with the servers that are running on the newer release level. For details, see Creating servers.
