Working with modules in the administration widgets

Use the administration widgets to browse deployed modules in a cell, view detailed information about each module, and edit module artifacts.

A graphical view visually represents the services exposed and invoked by a module with appropriate contextual information about each. Detailed information about the module is also available and includes the module version, cell identifier (used to uniquely identify a versioned module in a cell), and endpoints. The graphical view provides overall module status and highlights any existing configuration problems.

The Module Browser widget is used with other administration widgets. It enables you to list the names of any properties and policies defined for the module. In addition, if you are using IBM® Process Server, it lists the business rules, BPEL processes, business state machines, human tasks, business calendars, and security roles defined for the module. Select an artifact from the list in this widget to perform any necessary administration tasks in related widgets.

As a group, these widgets provide visibility into all the administrative artifacts in an application cluster, effectively aggregating solution administration. The data provided in these widgets can help you answer questions such as:
  • What services are consumed in or exposed by a module?
  • Is the module wiring correct, and are the correct versions of modules deployed?
  • Are all service exports and service imports bound to existing modules?
  • What is the status of a module? Is it running, or stopped?
  • Are there any failed events in the module?
  • What properties does the module expose?
  • What mediation policies are associated with the module?
  • What BPEL processes and human tasks are used in a module?
  • What security roles are used in a module?
  • What business calendars are used in a module?
  • What business state machines are defined for a module?
  • What business rules are used in a module?
