Overview of Server Groups

In Server Manager, you manage servers by grouping similarly purposed servers into logical groupings called server groups. You determine how you want to group servers depending on your particular JD Edwards EnterpriseOne implementation. For example, you may want to put all production servers in one server group and manage development servers in another. Or, you may decide to place servers in separate server groups based on geographical location. How you organize and manage servers in server groups is up to you.

The Management Console provides a default server group that you can use to initially manage servers. You can move any server from the default server group to a newly created server group. A server cannot belong to more than one server group, including the default server group.

You can include the following types of servers in a server group:

• JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Enterprise Server

• JD Edwards EnterpriseOne HTML Server

• JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Collaborative Portal Server

• Transaction Server

• PIM Synch Server

• Business Services Server

In the Management Console, you can configure default configuration settings for each type of server in a server group. When you add a server to a server group, Server Manager automatically applies the default configuration settings for that type of server to the newly added server.
