Table 1. AppServer status details
Field Description
Host The host machine's name.
Broker The running status of the broker. Possible values are:
  • ACTIVE — The broker is currently running.
  • Not Running — The broker is not currently running.
The broker can also report Starting and Shutting Down values; however, depending on the speed of the machine on which your management console is running, you may not see these intermediary states.
Operating mode The operating mode of the broker. This mode determines how client requests are dispatched to individual Application Server processes running on the AppServer instance.One of four possible modes can be reported: Stateless, State-free, State-aware, or State-reset.
Broker statistics available The status of the broker as it relates to data collection. The possible states are True or False.See Data collection details for more information about data collection.
Servers available The number of AppServers running and available to fulfill a connection request from a client to an AppServer through this broker when the broker's status is ACTIVE. This value can change frequently, reporting the real-time changes in number of servers available.
Should register with NameServer The status of True or False to indicate whether or not the broker resource is registered with a NameServer.

The following points relate to the fields listed in the above table:

  • Broker-related changes that you can make, using either the Broker Control or Server Pool Control options in the Command and control section of the AppServer Details page, can affect the broker and server values that appear in this status section.
  • The values that appear in the AppServer Status section are obtained either from the ubroker.properties file or the current, real-time status of the broker (if it is running).
