Web Services Distributed Management in an administrative agent environment
We can use Web Services Distributed Management (WSDM) to manage application server profiles in an administrative agent (AdminAgent) environment.
WSDM is a system application and it is disabled by default when the product is installed. You must first enable WSDM before we can use it to manage the product resources. Use scripting to enable WSDM.
We can manage multiple base application servers within profiles using the AdminAgent. We can also use the Web Services Distributed Management (WSDM) to manage each profile within the AdminAgent. WSDM is deployed inside the AdminAgent as a system application. Each profile is represented as a domain resource within the product. We can get and manage the resources within a profile through the product's domain resource. Figure 1 illustrates the AdminAgent topology.
