Cell-wide settings

The configuration data for V5 of WAS is stored in files, and those files exist in one of several directories in the configuration repository tree. The directory in which a configuration file exists determines its scope, or how broadly or narrowly that data applies. Files in an individual server directory apply to that specific server only. Files in a node level directory apply to every server on that node. And files in the cell directory apply to every server on every node within the entire cell.

Cell-wide settings are configuration data that is stored in files in the cell directory and those files are replicated to every node in the cell. There are several different configuration settings that apply to the entire cell. These include the definition of virtual hosts, shared libraries, and any variables that you want to be consistent throughout the entire cell.
