Managing the Derby Network Server

The Derby Network Server can be run in either of these configurations:

• As a stand-alone server, in which case it is an independent Java process embedding the Derby database engine
• As an embedded server, in which case it is embedded within another Java application, and both the Network Server framework and the Derby database engine are loaded by the Java application

You can use Java Management Extensions (JMX) technology to monitor and manage Derby and the Network Server. For information on how to do this, see Using Java Management Extensions (JMX) technology.

You can manage the Network Server by using shell scripts, the command line, or the Network Server API.
