Creating and Configuring Pramati Server

Nodes Using XML

Overview

Pramati Server instances can be configured manually by modifying the configuration XML

files. Server instances of type J2EE, Message Server and Cluster can be manually created

with simple configuration in the XML files. This section describes the structure of a Server

instance and discusses the procedure to create different types of Server instances in

Standalone and Cluster scenarios.

Understanding Pramati Server nodes

An application server node can serve either as a Standalone server or a cluster server node.

Pramati Server nodes can either be a Standalone Server or Server Cluster Node.

When the server starts, the server node is spawned as a separate process with its own JVM.

Attributes of the node—sizing, runtime behavior and performance—is defined by the

configuration of the server and is specified in a set of server configuration files (XMLs).
