Starting the REST Management Agent

Whenever you edit the ubroker.properties file for a REST Management Agent and its instances, you must restart the AdminServer. And, whenever you edit the web.xml file for a REST Management Agent and its instances, you must restart the REST Management Agent.

To start and run the REST Management Agent:

1. Ensure that your Java container is running.

2. Follow the instructions for your specific Java container and start the REST Management Agent as a Web application. See your Java container vendor documentation on starting and running a Web application.

Note: If you are using the Tomcat Web server, the REST Management Agent and its associated instances start when you run the Tomcat Web server.

The only difference between the REST Management Agent and the other Web applications is that the REST Management Agent is automatically enabled when started, whereas the REST Web applications need to be manually enabled before they can be used.

For more information on configuring the REST Management Agent on a Tomcat Web server, see the Installing a REST Management Agent into a Java container.
