The AS Java has a new, flexible management infrastructure, based on the Java™ Management Extensions (JMX™) standard. JMX™ is used to instrument, manage, and monitor all server components (services, interfaces, libraries) and applications. The JMX™ infrastructure is provided by the JMX Adapter Service, which in turn uses the SAP-JMX library. The SAP-JMX library provides an almost complete implementation of the JMX™ 1.2 core APIs.
The JMX Adapter Service adds some additional features like clustering support and integration with the AS Java class loading, thread management, and security concepts. It also provides a JMX connector for remote clients based on RMI-P4.
The following sections cover the basic ways of using the SAP JMX Interface:
