You can configure simple load balancing capability with
WebSphere Application Server by combining the
plug-in configuration files of multiple stand-alone application server
profiles into a single configuration file.
The number
of configuration files that you can combine are bound by the limits
that exist in the WebSphere Application Server license
agreement. You can use the following different configurations
of the application server to combine the plug-in configuration files
of multiple application server profiles into a single output file:
- Using multiple stand-alone base application server profiles. For
more information, see the documentation on configuring simple load
balancing across multiple application server profiles.
- Using multiple stand-alone base application server profiles with
an administrative agent. This topic explains how to complete this
configuration.
- Using multiple stand-alone base application server profiles with
an administrative agent using the job manager. The job manager function
is a part of WebSphere Application Server, Network Deployment.
However, you can use the job manager function with stand-alone, base
application server profiles. For more information, see the documentation
on configuring simple load balancing across multiple stand-alone,
base application server profiles with an administrative agent using
the job manager.
Complete the following steps to register stand-alone application
server profiles with an administrative agent and combine the plug-in
configuration files from these profiles into a single output file.
