Viewing information about Application Servers

You can display information about an Application Server and the services that it runs. This information can be useful for diagnostic purposes.

About the Application Server Launchers node

Through the Application Server Launchers node, you can get the same information about Application Servers and perform the same operations as with the Application Servers node. However, it is only through the Application Server Launcher that you can:

  • Obtain port information for the Application Server Launcher.
  • Create new Application Servers.
  • Edit the list of roles allowed access to the Application Server Launcher.

The Application Server Launchers node lists a node for each Application Server Launcher that is configured to use the database and is available. (For information, see Application Server Launcher.)
