J2EE Engine Administration Tools (SAP Library

J2EE Engine Administration Tools

Purpose

The J2EE Engine provides the following basic administration options:

● offline – enables the configuration and administration of J2EE Engine cluster elements when the server is not running

● online – enables the administration of J2EE Engine cluster elements at runtime

● remote – enables configuration of the J2EE Engine from a distance, that is, the administration tool runs on one machine and the server that must be managed is running on a different machine.

These administration types are implemented in the tools provided for administration of J2EE Engine – Visual Administrator, Shell Console Administrator, and Config Tool.
