Enable Sterling B2B Integrator for Monitoring by Sterling Control Center

You can monitor Sterling B2B Integrator with the Sterling Control Center.

About this task

An instance of the Sterling Control Center service is enabled by default when you install Sterling B2B Integrator. You must configure Web services to use this service.

Note: If you are running Sterling B2B Integrator in a vertical cluster environment, you can configure only one Web service. However, if you are running Sterling B2B Integrator in a horizontal cluster environment, you can configure one Web service for each available IP address.
Note: If you are using a cluster, a new SOA HTTP server adapter is required for each node beyond node 1. Copy the SOA HTTP server adapter assigned to node 1 and update the perimeter server name to match the node number.
