Features at a Glance

Server Manager provides:

• Web Based System Management

  You can securely access and manage your JD Edwards EnterpriseOne installation from anywhere using a standard web browser.

• Remote Deployment and Upgrades

  You can install, uninstall, and update your JD Edwards EnterpriseOne servers regardless of their physical location or platform.

• Remote Operational Control

  You can start and stop any of your JD Edwards EnterpriseOne servers, Oracle J2EE application servers, or supported third party J2EE application servers directly from the Management Console.

• Secure Administrative Tasks

  Server Manager permits you to specify which existing JD Edwards EnterpriseOne users have access to the Management Console control, which JD Edwards EnterpriseOne servers the user may view, and specify which administrative tasks the user may perform on those servers.

• Configuration Management

  Server Manager provides a web-based interface for managing the configuration of all managed servers. The application presents each configuration item along with integrated help describing the configuration setting.

  Note: Beginning with the availability of Server Manager, it is strongly advised that all changes to configuration files (such as jde.ini, jas.ini, jdbj.ini, jdelog.properties, etc.) for any JD Edwards EnterpriseOne server managed by Server Manager be accomplished using only the Management Console interface of Server Manager. In addition to providing usability improvements, using Server Manager reduces the risk of introducing configuration errors by providing dropdowns that contain only valid values where applicable. Further, the tool provides a useful Audit History for any modifications made to configurations using Server Manager.

• Configuration Comparison

  Use Server Manager to compare the configuration of two or more servers to identify configuration differences. You can compare configurations through the Management Console application regardless of the platform or location of the actual JD Edwards EnterpriseOne server. You can also compare individual servers with the default configuration of the corresponding server groups to which the servers belong.

• 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.

• 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 Web Server, and so on. A default, or template, configuration is maintained for each server group.

• Application Release Independence

  Server Manager is delivered with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Release 8.97 (and later) and is compatible with any supported JD Edwards EnterpriseOne application release beginning with Application Release 8.9 through the currently supported release. No electronic software updates (ESUs) are required to support Server Manager.

• Self-Contained Installation

  The installation of Server Manager delivers all components that are required by the Management Console application. There are no third party requirements regardless of your existing or intended middleware topology (for example, Oracle WebLogic Server, WebSphere Application Server, or no application server).

• 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 its initial release in Tools Release 8.97.

• Offline Monitoring and Scheduling of System Administrative Orchestrations (Release 9.2.6)

  Use Server Manager to monitor and schedule system administrative orchestrations in the offline mode. The Server Manager system administrator can run administrative orchestrations even when the HTML, Database, and Enterprise servers are down. Administrative orchestrations are orchestrations that contain only these types of components: Open API-type connectors connecting to a Server Manager Console Open API endpoint, rules, or child orchestrations with a similar structure as the parent orchestration.
