The administrative interfaces

WebSphere ESB offers several interfaces for deploying and administering your mediation modules and application serving environment, including configurations and logical administrative domains.

WebSphere ESB uses the standard WebSphere administrative interfaces as used for WebSphere Application Server and other related products like WebSphere Process Server. As a result, many administrative tasks (for example, setting security, viewing logs, and installing applications), and many terms used, are the same for both WebSphere ESB and WebSphere Application Server.

The administrative console
The administrative console is a browser-based interface that enables users to configure, monitor, update, stop, and start a wide variety of modules, services, applications, and resources.
For more information about the administrative console, see The administrative console for WebSphere ESB.
Scripting (wsadmin)
The WebSphere administrative (wsadmin) scripting program is a non-graphical command interpreter environment that enables you to run administrative options in a scripting language and to submit scripting language programs for execution. It supports the same tasks as the administrative console. The wsadmin tool is intended for production environments and unattended operations.
For more information about commands used in scripting specifically for WebSphere Process Server, see Administrator reference: Commands. For more information about general scripting with WebSphere Application Server, see Administrator reference: Scripting interfaces.
Command-line tools
Command-line tools are simple programs that you run from an operating system command-line prompt to perform specific tasks. Using these tools, you can start and stop application servers, check server status, add or remove nodes, and other tasks.
The command-line tools include the serviceDeploy command, which processes .jar, .ear, .war and .rar files exported from WebSphere Integration Developer and prepares them for installation to the production server.
For more information about WebSphere ESB commands, see Reference: Commands. For more information about WebSphere command-line tools, see Using command line tools.
Administrative programs
A range of application program interfaces can be used to administer WebSphere ESB. For example, you can use the set of Java classes and methods under the Java Management Extensions (JMX) specification to administer Service Component Architecture (SCA) and business objects. Each programming interface includes a description of its purpose, an example that demonstrates how to use the interface or class, and references to the individual method descriptions.
For more information about WebSphere administrative programs, see Using administrative programs (JMX).
