How to Discover GlassFish Topology by Shell

This task describes how to discover GlassFish using Shell protocols. The GlassFish discovery process enables the user to discover a complete GlassFish topology including J2EE applications, JDBC and JMS resources. DFM first finds application servers based on the Shell protocol or endpoints (TCP Ports) and then discovers the GlassFish J2EE environment and components by Shell.

  1. Prerequisites - Set up protocol credentials
  2. Discovery is done using the Shell protocol. One of the following credentials should be defined:

    • SSH
    • Telnet
    • NTCMD
  3. Run the discovery
    1. Run the Range IPs by ICMP job in order to discover the target IPs.
    2. Run the Host Connection by Shell job in order to discover the target host and shell connectivity to it.
    3. Run one of the two jobs:
      • Host Applications by Shell in order to discover applications of the target host, including running processes.
      • JEE TCP Ports in order to discover service endpoint information.
  4. Run the job JEE Glassfish by Shell.
