About Application Server

Administration

To enable administrators to manage server instances and clusters running on multiple hosts, Application Server provides these tools:

■The Admin Console, a browser-based graphical user interface (GUI)

■The asadmin utility, a command-line tool

■Programmatic Java™ Management Extensions (JMX™) APIs

These tools connect to a server called the Domain Administration Server, a specially designated Application Server instance that intermediates in all administrative tasks. The Domain Administration Server (DAS) provides a single secure interface for validating and executing administrative commands regardless of which interface is used.
