  • Differences Between Grid Control and Application Server Console

    Hi,
    I have come across a situation where a customer has an OC4J container and has deplyed several applications in this container. When they access Application Server Control Console thay can stop and start these applications individually.
    However, the customer cannot monitor the status/state of these applications from withing Grid Control. We can see that the OC4J container is either up or down and will be alerted for the change of status. However, if a single application within the container is down they will not be alerted.
    We are using GC 10.2.0.5, iAS 10.1.2.2. Is there a way around this, or dies the Application Server Console have a little extra functionalitly in it compared to Grid Control?
    Tim.

    Hi,
    On your grid control, create a new Notification rule and select "Web Application" from the target drop down and then select your application then in availability tab, select up and down for which you want to receive notification.

  • Difference between Integration Engine and Integration server.

    can any 1 explained in detail about difference between Integration Engine and Integration server.
    thanks in advance

    Integration Server and Integration Engine are used synonymous with each other. But there is a sublte difference if you actually look into the XI architecture images provded by SAP.
    The Integration Server contains,
    1. Adapter Engine
    2. Business Process Engine
    3. Integration Engine.
    So, taking this into picture I guess Integartion server is a collection of these 3 while integration engine is one of the runtime components of XI. All messages are processed in the Integration Engine.

  • Difference between component configuration and application configuration in webdynpro

    what is the difference between component configuration and application configuration in webdynpro?

    Hi Rohit,
    With the component configuration, you can control the behavior of each individual component within a Web Dynpro application or the user interface of individual views. For each component, several records of configuration data can be created.
    Using the application configuration, it is now possible to assign the configuration required in the current application to all the components used.
    In short : Component Config belongs to WDP Component and Appl'n Config. belongs to WDP Appl'n.
    Check this document for more information.

  • Difference between Business message and application message

    Hi B2B Gurus,
    Can you please explain the difference between Business message and application message?
    Regards,
    Praveen

    Hi Praveen,
    Business message status reports identify business message instance details for a document protocol. These details include the sending and receiving trading partners, the agreement name, the business action, the business message ID, the status, the exchange protocol and document protocol, and message details.
    Application Message Reports provide information related to the SOA Composite—the name, version, and so on, if a back-end composite application sent or received the message.

  • Difference between Information Field and Application Field

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me the difference between information field and application field in ucm?
    Thanks

    Information fields are metadata fields that describe the content - by default they will appear on the interface and be searchable etc.
    Application fields are a special sort of meta field normally used behind the scenes to help with the logic of forms/templates. Application fields do not normally appear on the interface and are not searchable.
    More simply put if you just want to add content metadata just use Information Fields
