Java Management Extensions (JMX) connectors

Use this page to view and change the configuration for Java™ Management Extensions (JMX) connectors, which make connections between server processes. The types of JMX connectors are Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), Remote Method Invocation (RMI), JMX Remote application programming interface (JSR 160) Remote Method Invocation (JSR160RMI), and Inter-Process Communications (IPC).

To view this administrative console page, click Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers > server_name > Administration > Administration services > JMX Connectors.

Java Management Extensions (JMX) connectors communicate with WebSphere® Application Server when you invoke a scripting process. There is no default for the type and parameters of a connector. The wsadmin.properties file specifies the SOAP connector and an appropriate port number. You can also use the RMI connector, the JSR160RMI connector, or the IPC connector.

Use one of the following methods to select the connector type and attributes:
  • Specify properties in a properties file.
  • Indicate options on the command line.

[z/OS]On the z/OS® platform, the SOAP connector, the RMI connector, the JSR160RMI connector, and the IPC connector connect to a controller (server) . WebSphere Application Server for z/OS internally routes MBean requests from a controller to its servant regions as appropriate.
