13.3 Defining servers and server configurations<br />

Every server instance you plan to use, whether it is a local server, remote server,<br />

or the <strong>WebSphere</strong> test environment, must be represented by a server definition<br />

and a server configuration definition.<br />

The server definition defines the host where the server resides and the directory<br />

information needed to locate the application server. Each server definition has an<br />

associated server configuration that contains the information needed to set up<br />

the runtime environment, such as port information, data sources, MIME types,<br />

and session management information.<br />

<strong>Server</strong> and server configuration definitions are usually created at the same time<br />

and for all practical purposes look like the same thing. They are represented by<br />

one entry in the standard <strong>Server</strong> Configuration view. To view both the server and<br />

server configurations, you will need to change the <strong>Server</strong> Configurations view to<br />

its advanced setting.<br />
