This section describes the items that you must determine before designing an Application Server system.
Identify the following before you start the system design operations. Based on this determination result, you determine a system configuration and implement the performance tuning described in chapter 3 onwards.
- Identifying the types of business
Identify the types of business to be executed on the system. Decide the format of the applications, configuration, and required software depending on the types of business.
- Determining the application configuration based on the system purpose
Based on the purpose of the system, you determine the functionality to be used, identify the configuration of the applications to be executed, and prepare the necessary software.
- Determining the operation method
In an Application Server system, you use an operation management process called the Management Server to run multiple server processes in a batch.
When you determine the operation methods, apart from Application Server systems, you must determine how to operate the entire system including the programs other than Application Server.
