The Configuration Expert has been designed to be used with both the Rose Expert and the C++ Expert. The Configuration Expert will import the gservers.lst file generated by the C++ and Rose Experts (as part of the Framework classes generation phase) as its source of server executable configuration information.
Similarly, the available servers file, iservers.lst contains a list of external server executables that can be added to the application. This file is updated when a new server is created using the Create button. This file can also be shared by multiple developers in read-only mode.
Figure 1-2 provides an architectural overview of the relationship of the C++ Expert to the Configuration Expert, showing how you can use server data from the C++ Expert as input to the Configuration Expert.

Note that the Configuration Expert provides a subset of the functionality available in the BEA Administration Console-mainly, the ability to configure and bring up a BEA TUXEDO application from scratch. However, the Configuration Expert is designed explicitly for application developers, whereas the Administration Console is oriented towards the requirements of BEA TUXEDO system administrators.
