Topology of the Application Server Environment

A visual representation of the application server environment is essential for administrators to understand component relationships, such as where applications are deployed across the OracleAS Farm or OracleAS Cluster. Enterprise Manager satisfies this requirement through the Topology Viewer available from the Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Application Server Control Console. Topology Viewer provides a graphical, real-time view of application server processes managed by Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server (OPMN). From Topology Viewer, an administrator can perform various common tasks such as: View the status of the farm, cluster and member components Start, stop or restart processes Monitor performance across the application server environment Drill down to component home pages for details
