Creating or modifying application servers

Content Server supports application servers in the server configuration object. The Content Server configuration object specifies the name and the URI of the associated application servers.

Content Server supports a wide variety of network-accessible application, personalization, portal, and e-commerce servers from enterprise vendors such as BEA, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, Sun, and SAP. For more information about how to deploy an application server, refer to the vendor documentation that came with the application server.

You access the App Servers page by selecting the App Servers tab on the Server Configuration Properties page, as described in Adding or modifying Content Servers.

To create, modify, or delete application servers:

  1. On the App Servers page, you can:

    • Click Add to add an application server.

    • Modify an existing application server by selecting the application server in the Name column, then click Edit.

    • Delete an existing application server by selecting the application server in the Name column, then click Remove.

  2. Add or modify information on the Application Server page, as described in Table 2.10.

  3. Do one of the following:

    • If you are creating a new server configuration object, click Next to configure cached types.

    • If you are modifying an existing server configuration object, click OK to save your changes or click another tab to make additional changes. To enable the changes, reinitialize the server. Restarting the server is not required.
