Scope of resources in WebSphere Application Server 5.0 Network Deployment
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
Why do resources in WebSphere Application Server 5.0 Network Deployment have scope?
 
Resolving the problem
Resources in WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment have scope. The configuration definition for the resources is stored in a resources.xml file that can be scoped at the cell, node or server level. The reason is administrative convenience. Particularly in a clustered environment, you probably want to define your resources at the cell or at least the node level. This means that you define and configure them in one place and the File Synchronization ensures that the definition is available to all servers in the cell (or node if defined at that scope). Resources defined at the server scope are only available to that one process. Defining resources scoped at the server level would not be appropriate for clusters, because it would mean that any change to the resource configuration would have to be made several times.
