Overview of Oracle Endeca Server application

The Endeca Server is a Java application hosted in the WebLogic Server container that manages the Endeca data domains.

Note: It is useful to recognize that the term "Endeca Server" may refer to the Endeca Server software package, and to the Endeca Server Java application hosted in the WebLogic Server. Whenever this distinction is needed, the documentation refers to the software package as "the Endeca Server", and to the Java application as the "Endeca Server application".

You install the Endeca Server package on Linux or Windows machines that are running the WebLogic Server and that will host multiple Endeca data domains. Once the Endeca Server package is installed in the WebLogic Server, you use the WebLogic Server's Administration Console to manage the Endeca Server application.

The Endeca Server application manages the Endeca data domain clusters hosted in the Endeca Server cluster.

Note: On Windows, the Endeca Server application cannot be configured to run as a Windows service. However, a WebLogic Server instance can be configured to run as a Windows service. For details, see the WebLogic guide titled Managing Server Startup and Shutdown at: https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1213/wls/START/winservice.htm#START143.

Endeca Server has a set of commands with which you create and control the data domains. For information, see Endeca Server Command Reference.
