Converged Application Server provides several tools and mechanisms for administration and configuration which include:

• Administration Console: Converged Application Server provides an extensive Web-based GUI that supports all configuration management, including deployment of applications, configuration of connectivity, and other common tasks. This interface offers secure, role-based administration of servers from any terminal that has access to the Administration Server and supports a standard HTML Web browser.
• Java Management Extensions (JMX): Converged Application Server interoperates with standard network element management systems via JMX. Many common network management suites support JMX natively, which is the standard management technology for Java applications.
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP): Converged Application Server interoperates with standard network element management systems via use of SNMP, V2. The Converged Application Server SNMP MIB complies with MIB II. Converged Application Server also enables developers to send SNMP traps from within application code. See the Oracle Communications Converged Application Server Developer Guide.

  Converged Application Server also uses the SNMP features available in Oracle WebLogic Server, such as SNMP proxying. See Monitoring Oracle WebLogic Server with SNMP.

• WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST): Converged Application Server provides a Command Line Interface (CLI) using WLST for manual runtime configuration from any network terminal with secure access to the Administration Server. See Understanding the WebLogic Scripting Tool.
