Configuring Java plug-in servers

Use the Server Group Configuration screen to set the Java plug-in server configurations at the global level. This screen provides a single location to manage configuration settings across the server group.

To access the Server Group Configuration screen:

  1. In a browser, navigate to http://midTierServerInstallDir/arsys/forms/serverName.
  2. Log in.
  3. Select AR System Management Console > AR System Server Group Console> Server Group Configuration.

Best Practice
We recommend that you use the AR System Management Console to manage the Java plug-in server configurations.

You can also use the AR System Administration:Plugin Server Config form to view the information about the Java plug-in servers. As an administrator, you can access this form from the BMC Remedy AR System Administration Console. Any configurations you set on this form are local level configurations.

The AR System Administration:Plugin Server Config Form is for Java plug-in servers only. You cannot use this form to configure native plug-in servers.

The following table lists the common fields on the AR System Administration:Plugin Server Config Form:

Field name

Description

Reference

Plugin Server Instance

Select a plug-in server instance from the list of available plug-in server instances.

 

Plugin Server Instance Path

Enter the path where the selected plug-in server instance is running.

 

Plugin Set

Select a plug-in set from the list.

This property enables you to load multiple plug-ins that share a common parent class loader.

The Plugin Set Configuration tab (see below) is visible only if you select a value for this field.

Plugin Server Host

Enter the host name of the computer where the selected plug-in server instance is running.

 

The following table lists the tabs in the AR System Administration:Plugin Server Config Form. The information provided in each tab is described in the sections that follow.
