Management Console

The central element of the Server Manager architecture is the Management Console, a web-based application. The Management Console is responsible for:

  • Hosting the HTML-based interface accessed using a standard web browser.

  • Communicating with Management Agents installed on remote machines.

  • Monitoring the runtime operation of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne servers.

Server Manager is required for all JD Edwards EnterpriseOne installations that use Tools Release 8.97 (and later) tools releases. The Management Console is a J2EE application with a web-based user interface that is accessed by the end user through a browser. For the management user, this interface is the only means of directly accessing any servers managed by Server Manager.

The Management Console can be installed on either a Windows-based or Linux-based machine.

Typically the most suitable machine within the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne architecture is the Deployment Server, although the Management Console can be installed on any server that meets the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Certifications (MTRs) of the Deployment Server (for details refer to Accessing the Certifications (Minimum Technical Requirements) in this guide). The Management Console uses a J2EE application container to host the application.

Optionally, the Management Console can be configured to use the secure protocols of HTTPS/SSL.
