The collective controller feature allows a server to become the controller for a management collective. The collective controller acts as a command and control mechanism for administrative functions for the collective, and serves as a storage and collaboration mechanism for the collective and cluster members.
To enable the Collective Controller feature, add the following element declaration inside the featureManager element in your server.xml file:
<feature>collectiveController-1.0</feature>
If you are developing a feature that depends on the Collective Controller feature, include the following item in the Subsystem-Content header in the feature manifest file for your new feature:
com.ibm.websphere.appserver.collectiveController-1.0; type="osgi.subsystem.feature"
