Progress Sonic 8.0 ESB Configuration and Management Guide

Chapter 1: Using Progress Sonic ESB Configuration and Management Tools
Overview
The tools provided for configuring and managing Sonic ESB are independent of any
Sonic domain. The tools are typically installed on systems where runtime components
will not run. They connect to domains over the internet protocols to connect to a
management broker for a domain for viewing and maintaining the configuraton objects in
that domain. As a result, administrators can disconnect, relocate, and reconnect to diverse,
distributed domains whenever and wherever needed.
What’s a Sonic domain? — A Sonic domain is an administrative grouping of Progress
Sonic management containers, and brokers administered by one central management
node, its Domain Manager. The domain manager is defined by its components:
● A management container that provides caching facilities, communicates with its
management node (the broker it hosts), and hosts the other components of the domain
manager.
● A broker dedicated to management communications for the domain manager’s two
essential functions, the Directory Service and the Agent Manager.
● A Directory Service that provides a centralized point for configuration information,
runtime management, and configuration storage.
● An Agent Manager that monitors the state of all management containers in the
domain.
For information about the domain manager, see the “Introduction to Configuration”
chapter in the Progress SonicMQ Configuration and Management Guide and the
“Distributing Components” chapter in the Progress SonicMQ Deployment Guide.
To use the Sonic ESB configuration and management tools, you must have a domain
manager installed and the administration tools for SonicMQ and Sonic ESB installed. See
the Progress Sonic Installation and Upgrade Guide for information on a variety of
installations of these product features.
Once the software is installed and acessible, the first step is to start the domain manager.
◆ To start a domain manager:
❖ On Windows, choose:
Start > Programs > Progress > Sonic 8.0 > Start Domain Manager
❖ On UNIX or Linux, set a console window to the Progress Sonic installation’s
Containers/Domain1.DomainManager directory, and then enter launchcontainer.sh.
