2.7 Application Server administration
Application Server administration is to construct and operate Application Server systems by managing Application Server components based on a domain administration server. You can perform Application Server administration from the command line interface (CLI) or the Administration Console.
Application Server administration manages each Application Server component (Java EE servers, web servers, and performance tracers) by grouping them into units called domains. Application Server systems with different configurations can be managed by domain according to the business requirements.
The command line interface (CLI) and Administration Console are provided as interfaces with the domain administration server on which Application Server administration is based. You can use either the CLI or the Administration Console to perform various operations for Application Server administration.
