Planning for standalone application server cells

About this task

A standalone application server cell is the simplest WebSphere® Application Server for z/OS® configuration on which you can deploy and run applications. A standalone application server cell includes the following:
  • Basic cell and node configuration
  • Location service daemon
  • Application server that runs the administrative console application

    You can deploy and run additional applications on this server.

Although you can define additional application servers in the standalone cell, you cannot manage them using the standalone server version of the administrative console. If you wish to define and manage multiple application servers in a standalone application server node, you can either define an administrative agent and register the standalone appserver server node with it or define a Network Deployment call and federate the application server node into the Network Deployment cell. The administrative agent or the Network Deployment cell's deployment manager can then be used to manage the application servers in the standalone application server node.

If you have never configured a WebSphere Application Server for z/OS cell, try Building practice WebSphere Application Server for z/OS cells first.
