The System Management application (SMA) is a Web application that developers can use to monitor and control caches, agents, listeners, and other processing in your Process Commander system. The URL name is prsysmgmt.

Consult the System Management Application Reference — a document available on the Pega Developer Network — for more information on this utility, including how to set up authorized users.

Informally, this program is known as the JMX client, as it uses Java Management Extension-based mbeans to access Process Commander facilities.

On a multinode cluster, or on a production system with a single Process Commander node, install the System Management application on an application server (and JVM) separate from those where PRServlet runs. Even when the System Management application is lightly used, when sharing an application server it can cause frequent and unwanted garbage collection operations that can affect performance.

In Process Commander releases before Version 5.1, a similar facility was known as the System Console, implemented by the PRMonitorServlet servlet.
