The complete JD Edwards EnterpriseOne product comprises many components, such as kernels that run on the enterprise server, Java components that run on web application servers, database tables and schemas that reside on the database server, and development clients with local copies of objects. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne platform certification matrix provides a broad set of platform options for deploying these various components. Therefore, the complete set of possible deployment scenarios can be daunting.
As its name implies, the job of the deployment server is to help the system architect and system administrator to plan the topology of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne components, to deploy those components to the appropriate servers, and to deploy Electronic Software Updates and custom modifications throughout the lifecycle of a JD Edwards EnterpriseOne implementation. The deployment server accomplishes these tasks regardless of which platforms the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne components run on.

Server Manager for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is a web based application used to manage the complete life cycle of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne server products. It is available with the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Release 8.97 and later. Server Manager supports the same JD Edwards EnterpriseOne application releases that are supported by the tools releases.
With JD Edwards Server Manager you can:
Securely access and manage the configuration of your JD Edwards EnterpriseOne installed components from anywhere using a standard web browser
Install, uninstall, and update your JD Edwards EnterpriseOne servers regardless of their physical location or platforms
Start and stop any of your JD Edwards EnterpriseOne servers, Oracle WebLogic application servers, or supported third party J2EE application servers directly from the Management Console
Server Manager Features:
Configuration Management: Easily change and manage configuration settings for all managed servers. View each configuration item along with integrated help describing the setting.
Configuration Comparison: Compare the configuration of two or more servers to identify configuration differences, regardless of the platform or physical location of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne server.
Save and Restore Configuration: Save a complete configuration state before making changes or updates.
Integrated EnterpriseOne Software Management: Use Server Manager to centrally maintain all your JD Edwards EnterpriseOne server tools releases, including the ability to copy the software to the remote server machines.
Logical Server Grouping: Server Manager allows you to group servers with a similar purpose. These groups can include any of the server types, such as Enterprise Server, HTML Server and a Web Server. A default or template configuration is maintained for each server group.
Tools Release Independence: Newer versions of the Server Manager application will continue to support the management of earlier tools releases back to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne initial release in Tools Release 8.97.
Audit History: Server Manager maintains a history of changes made to the managed servers. This includes a history of each configuration change, each server start and stop, and each tools release update. Including the user that performed the change or operation. The Management Console application provides mechanisms to query and view the audit history that is maintained.
Server Manager consists of a web based 'console' application and a set of 'agents' that communicate with the console. The console sends control commands and information requests to the agents and the agents pass along control commands to the local web application server or enterprise server or reports status and runtime information back to the console.
