System Management application

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 PRPC system. The URL name is prsysmgmt.

Consult the System Management Application Reference — a document available on the PDN — 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 PRPC facilities.

On a multinode cluster, or on a production system with a single PRPC node, install the System Management application on an application server (and JVM) separate from those where PRPC 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 PRPC releases before Version 5.1, a similar facility was known as the System Console, implemented by the PRMonitorServlet servlet.
