Monitoring systems through the Management Console

After WebSphere® Transformation Extender has been installed and configured, and the Java™ Launcher started, the Management Console can be used to control and view the statistics about the Launcher processes (.msl system files) that are running.

You must log in to the Management Console and connect to the Java Launcher.

If Separate Launcher processes in the Launcher Administration was not checked, and the connection was successful, you will see the CompoundSystem.

The Management Console is connected to the Java Launcher, which is running all Launcher systems (.msl files) in a single Launcher process, or CompoundSystem, or in one or more separate Launcher process.

If Separate Launcher processes in the Launcher Administration was checked, and the connection was successful, you will see the unique names given to the individual Launcher processes (.msl files) from the File List window in the Launcher Administration. The Management Console is connected to the Java Launcher, which is running separate system Launcher processes for each Launcher system (.msl file) or group of systems.

In this configuration, you can control and monitor each of the different Launcher processes individually without affecting another.

Expand one of the Launcher system files to see the categories of information that you can view in the Management Console. They are Status, History and Configuration.

The Summary tab of the Management Console is an example of the statistical information for one of multiple Launcher processes.
