You can configure an
administrative agent and view or change stand-alone application server
nodes registered to the administrative agent. An administrative agent
provides a single interface to administer application servers in,
for example, development, unit test, or server farm environments.
Before you begin
Install the WebSphere® Application Server product.
About this task
New feature: The
administrative agent provides a single interface to administer multiple
stand-alone application server nodes in, development, unit test, or
server farm environments, for example. By using a single interface to
administer your application servers, you reduce the overhead of running
administrative services in every application server.
newfeat
You can use the administrative console
of the administrative agent to configure the administrative agent
and view and change properties for nodes registered to the administrative
agent.
Procedure
- Set up the administrative
agent environment.
Create an administrative agent
profile and one or more stand-alone application server profiles, called nodes,
on the same computer and then register the node profiles with the
administrative agent.
- Start and stop the
administrative agent as needed.
- View and change properties for the administrative agent.
- Click from the
navigation of the administrative agent administrative console.
- View and change properties for a node registered to the
administrative agent.
- Click .
- You can view the nodes registered to the administrative agent.
- Click .
The page is read-only. To change
properties for the node, click the links under Additional Properties.
- Unregister
a stand-alone application server node from the administrative
agent.
Unregister nodes if you no longer need the node
in the administrative agent environment or if you intend to delete
the stand-alone application server node profile. Run the deregisterNode
command to unregister a node.
Results
Depending on the steps that
you completed, you might have configured the administrative agent,
or viewed or changed properties for a node registered to the administrative
agent.
What to do next
You can continue to administer registered nodes from the
administrative agent. You can further configure the administrative
agent using the links on the configuration tab of the administrative
agent panel. You can register more nodes with the administrative agent
using the registerNode command. You can unregister nodes from the
administrative agent using the deregisterNode command.
