Maintaining AX Server

AX Server administrators handle security, database, and application server configuration tasks.

AX Server security

AX Server handles sensitive data that needs to be kept secure. Consider the following questions when administering security:

• Who has access to Analytics Exchange and the data stored on AX Server? For information about user access, see Users and roles.
• How do users access Analytics Exchange? For information about authentication, see Analytics Exchange authentication.
• How is Analytics Exchange data protected? For data and general AX Server security recommendations, see AX Server security.

Database management

Depending on your organization's configuration, your AX Server database is an instance of the one of the following servers:

• PostgreSQL:– for more information, see Managing the database on PostgreSQL
• Oracle: for more information, see Managing the database on Oracle

Windows services management

AX Server uses three Windows services to perform most of the application functions on the server: Analytics Exchange Service, Analytics Exchange Connector, and Analytics Exchange Database.

For more information, see AX Server Windows services.

Apache TomEE management

Apache TomEE runs the AX Server components for AX Web Client, AX Server, and AX Engine Node. The Analytics Exchange Service Windows service runs the TomEE application server.

For more information, see Managing the Apache TomEE service.
