Changing the default behavior of the management console

By setting the TCP/IP management mode, you can enable Rule Execution Server to manage execution unit (XU) instances that are running on a different Java™ virtual machine (JVM) or JMX MBean server than the Rule Execution Server console.

By default, the Rule Execution Server console cannot manage execution units (XU) that handle the execution of Java SE or Java EE rule sessions if these XUs are not running in the same cluster or the same Java virtual machine (JVM) as the Rule Execution Server console. You can change this behavior by configuring the XU to connect to a TCP/IP management server that is started by the Rule Execution Server management EAR file. A typical use case is when you want to manage a XU that handles a desktop application.
