With Manage 2000 release 8.1 service pack 2 the webserver connector moves up to Rocket Web DE 5.3.0 Javascheduler. This makes the service pack roll-up from service pack 1 a little bit more involved but not only results in a faster connection but a really cool administrator portal.
Going back through the administrator guide I got to wondering about this apiserver thing that I keep running into. Is it a development API? Is it a user interface?
Turns out it is both:
Admin API server - The
new Admin API web server hosts a Web API and a web-based user interface, which
you can use to control configuration and monitoring functions of the Java
Scheduler. Enhanced monitoring and logging API improves tracing and
supportability, accessible via a an HTTP-based API and UI. Prior to v5.3.0,
these administrative functions were performed through an Eclipse-based
interface and anchored into the U2 Web Designer. Now, you can easily update
configuration, monitoring, and security preferences in Web DE via an open API
and new web-based user interface.
Rocket Web DE 5.3.0 includes a fully functional mobile ready REST based user interface to the Javascheduler console for administrators. This is much more convenient than the snap-in to the Web DE eclipse environment. Definitely worth investing in setting up and securing.
