Sterling Control Center Components

Sterling Control Center is a Java-based application that consists of an engine that is installed on a network computer, a relational database that stores statistics information, and a graphical user interface.

Sterling Control Center is a Java-based application that consists of three components:
  • An engine that is installed on a network computer. This engine includes the modules that create and define rules, actions, SLCs, and Sterling Control Center configuration information.
  • A relational database that stores statistics information from managed Sterling Connect:Enterprise®, Sterling Connect:Direct®, and Sterling B2B Integrator servers. This information is used by Sterling Control Center for server monitoring.Sterling Control Center supports MySQL, IBM DB2®, Oracle®, and Microsoft SQL Server™ databases.
  • A graphical user interface (GUI) that can be installed on the same computer where the engine is installed, or on a remote computer. The GUI visually shows processing activity and enables you to perform Sterling Control Center administration activities.

The engine and GUI can be installed on computers with different operating systems. See Sterling Control Center Release Notes for system requirements.
