Environments
To link together several webMethods product components that you want to manage as a group, you use the My webMethods Define Environments page to define a webMethods environment. An environment is a group of webMethods product components that share configuration settings, such as cache settings.
As shown in the diagram below, an environment may include one or more logical servers. The diagram shows four environments that are configured as described in the following list:
Environment
A is a full
Optimize implementation containing six logical servers that reside on two different physical servers.
Environment
B is a minimum
Optimize implementation consisting of three logical servers that reside on one physical server.
Environments
C and
D have three logical servers each, with both environments residing on a single physical server.
Note that the diagram shows that a logical server can belong to only one environment at a time.
Figure 14. Example Environment Implementation
An environment also includes a set of configuration files for each logical server. To learn more about defining and configuring an environment, see
Getting Started.
