1.3.2 Management Server Role

  • Article

The Management Server role is generally performed by specialized middleware software programs to provide transaction monitoring and transaction manager configuration services to applications. The transaction manager exemplifies such a program.

The Management Server role is typically responsible for the following tasks:

  • Providing applications and other participants with access to services that allow the reading and setting of transaction manager configuration settings. Configuration settings fall into the following categories:

    • Functionality settings: These configuration settings enable and disable the availability of specific transaction manager roles.

    • Security settings: These configuration settings enable and disable access to and from security-related restrictions on transactional services.

    • transaction manager endpoint settings: These settings describe the endpoints provided by the transaction manager.

  • Providing applications with mechanisms to query the state of and to control the life cycle of the transaction manager service.

  • Providing applications with subscription services to transaction monitoring information.
