Server

Obtain information about the Caché or Ensemble server and its environment.

Background Information

Caché is an application server, which works in conjunction with a web server and with the CSP Gateway. For information on the CSP Gateway and on supported web servers, see “Introduction to the CSP Gateway” in the CSP Gateway Configuration Guide.

Because Ensemble is a superset of Caché, Ensemble is also an application server.

This topic discusses the application server, as opposed to the third-party web server.
