You can use the wsadmin tool to configure and administer application servers, application deployment, and server run-time operations.
In a flexible management environment, you can connect the wsadmin tool to a base application server, deployment manager, administrative agent, or job manager process. If you do not specify the port of the base application server or the profile name assigned to the job manager, the wsadmin tool automatically connects to the administrative agent.
The wsadmin returns the following output when it establishes a connection to the server processs:
WASX7209I: Connected to process server1 on node myhost using SOAP connector; The type of process is: UnManagedProcess WASX7029I: For help, enter: "$Help help" wsadmin>
