The administration area of the Integration Server (also called Admin Console) lets you perform the following tasks, among others. To use the Admin Console, the Integration Server must be started successfully.
You can monitor the current state of the server: which services are active, how much memory is used and available, and more.
You configure individual services temporarily (without changing the configuration file) or permanently (by changing the configuration file).
You use the provided tools, for example the SQL Monitor.
General information on configuration
There are two types of configuration:
Settings applied when the Java Virtual Machine starts. Examples: the classpath and other parameters that must be set at startup.
Services that the Integration Server starts and uses.
Configuration options at system startup
The following articles describe the configuration options at system startup:
Service settings
The respective articles describe the settings of the individual services.
All services are configured via an XML file. A configuration interpreter applies the file to the service like a script. See Format of XML configuration files for more details.
IMPORTANT: Changes to XML files only take effect after a restart of the Integration Server or the individual service. To make immediate changes during operation (without a restart), use the configuration area of the respective service. CAUTION: These changes are lost after a restart.
