Generic servers
A generic server is a server that is managed in the WebSphere administrative domain, although it is not a server that is supplied by the WebSphere Application Server product. The generic server can be any server or process that is necessary to support the Application Server environment, including:
The WAS Generic Servers function enables you to define a generic server as an application server instance within the WAS administration, and associate it with a non-WebSphere server or process.
After you define a generic server, use the Application Server administrative console to start, stop, and monitor the associated non-WebSphere server or process when stopping or starting the applications that rely on them.
