Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8.1 2005Q2 Update 2 Administration Guide

ProcedureTo configure a JMX connector using the Admin Service

Use the Admin Service to configure a JSR-160 compliant remote JMX connector, which handles communication between the domain administration server and the node agents, which manage server instances on a host machine, for remote server instances.

The Admin Service determines whether the server instance is a regular instance, a domain administration server (DAS), or a combination. A DAS is similar to a J2EE server instance, except that user applications and resources are not deployed to a DAS, though it is capable of serving user application requests. The only significant difference between a DAS and a J2EE Server Instance is that the former can not be a part of a cluster, the homogeneous unit of server instances. In the Platform Edition, there is only one server instance, and it is a combination.

  1. Select Configurations from the tree.

  2. Select Admin Service from the tree.

  3. From the Type drop-down menu, select what you want the Admin service to configure: DAS , DAS and server, or server. Selecting DAS and server is the same as selecting DAS.

  4. In the JMX Connector Name field, enter the name of the JMX connector used internally. The name of the connector is system.
