2.1. Environment Configuration

This section describes the environment configuration required to start WebAdmin, and how to start and shut down WebAdmin using the console tool.

Environment Configuration

To start WebAdmin when starting JEUS, the <enable-webadmin> element in the domain.xml file must be set to true.

[Example 2.1] WebAdmin Configuration - <<domain.xml>>

<domain xmlns="http://www.tmaxsoft.com/xml/ns/jeus" version="8.0">
   ...
   <admin-server-name>adminServer</admin-server-name>
   <system-clustering-framework>
      <heartbeat-address>230.30.1.1</heartbeat-address>
      <heartbeat-port>3030</heartbeat-port>
   </system-clustering-framework>
   <enable-webadmin>true</enable-webadmin>
   <servers>
   ...
</domain>

Permission Setting

A user must be granted the AdministratorsRole role in the policies.xml file to log into WebAdmin.

[Example 2.2] Permission Setting: <<policies.xml>>

[Figure 2.38] Changing the Configuration - Example
After making the changes, click [Apply Changes] to apply the changes to the server. Next, click [OK] in the following confirmation window that appears.

If no description is entered, the existing description is used.

[Figure 2.39] Changing the Configuration - Applying Changes
When the configuration information is applied to DAS, the following result message is shown and the mode automatically switches from the Lock & Edit mode to the Standard View mode.

[Figure 2.40] Changing the Configuration - Result Message

Reverting Configuration Changes

The following are the steps for reverting any changes to the configuration.

After modifying the configuration in the previous section, click [Undo All Changes] to revert the changes instead of applying them to the server. Click [OK] in the confirmation window that appears.

[Figure 2.41] Changing the Configuration - Reverting Changes
Verify that the changes have been reverted. Heartbeat Port, which was changed from "3030" to "3033", has been reverted, and the mode automatically switched from the Lock & Edit mode to the Standard View mode.

[Figure 2.42] Changing the Configuration - Reverting Changes Example

2.4.4. Locking the Configuration

JEUS WebAdmin provides a configuration lock feature for a specific user, not for a session. Only the user who has the lock can change the configuration.

The user has the lock until the user clicks [Apply Changes] to apply the changes or [Undo All Changes] to revert the changes. As long as the lock is not returned, the user can continue editing even if the user logs out and logs back in again.

Acquiring the Lock

The lock is not automatically returned. If the user does not return the lock, other users cannot make changes. To prevent this from occurring, other users can forcibly acquire the lock as in the following example.

A user, user1, logs in and acquires the lock by clicking [Lock & Edit]. The user does not apply or revert the changes, and logs out while still in the Lock & Edit mode.

[Figure 2.43] Acquiring the Lock - User1 in Lock & Edit Mode
Another user, user2, logs in.

[Figure 2.44] Acquiring the Lock - User2 in Standard View Mode
If user2 clicks [Lock & Edit] to try to change the configuration, the following warning message is displayed that says another user is using the Lock & Edit mode.

[Figure 2.45] Acquiring the Lock - Forcibly Acquiring the Lock

User2 acquires the lock by clicking [Force Lock].

Caution

When the lock is forcibly acquired, all changes made by the previous lock owner are lost.
The configuration screen changes to the following Lock & Edit mode.

[Figure 2.46] Acquiring the Lock - User2 in Lock & Edit Mode
