applications, creating and conguring domains, server instances and resources; controlling
(starting and stopping) domains and server instances, managing proles and clusters,
monitoring and managing performance, and diagnosing and troubleshooting problems.

Enterprise Server Overview
You can congure and monitor Enterprise Server instances and clusters securely and remotely,
from a web-based central administration console. The command line interface (CLI) can be
used to script and automate processes. A stable JMX API is made available to programmatically
monitor the server, query conguration and change conguration data. Monitoring is
supported through JMX and SNMP interfaces. Monitoring level may be varied dynamically
from OFF to LOW and high, changing the amount of information that is collected.
You can congure and optimize Enterprise Server for a particular type of use by specifying the
appropriate prole when you create the application server domain.
