About the Admin Console
The administration area of the Integration Servers (or Admin Console) allows you, among others, to perform the following activities. To use the Admin Console, the Integration Server must be started successfully.
Showing the current state of the server (which services are started, how much memory is consumed and available, etc.).
Configuring individual services temporarily (without changing the underlying configuration file) or permanently (by changing the underlying configuration file).
Using tools, such as the SQL Monitor.
General information about the configuration
In principle, a distinction can be made between two types of configuration.
Startup configuration of the server itself, i.e. all settings made at the time of starting the Java Virtual Machine (e.g. setting the classpath, ...).
Configuration of the services to be started and used by the Integration Server.
Configuration options for system startup
The configuration options for the system startup are explained in the following sections.
The settings of the services
The settings of the individual services are shown in the respective description.
All services are configured using an XML file. The file is applied to the service like a script by the configuration interpreter. For the format of the XML configuration files, see section Format of XML configuration files.
Important note: Changes to the XML files do not take effect until the Integration Server or the individual service is restarted via the Admin Console. If changes are to take effect during operation without stopping and starting a service, they must be made in the configuration area of the respective service. Attention: These changes will be lost after a restart.
