Deployment manager settings

Stop the deployment manager, and to link to other pages we can use to define additional properties for the deployment manager. A deployment manager provides a single, central point of administrative control for all of the elements in the WebSphere Application Server distributed cell.

From the admin console, click...

        System administration > Deployment manager.

Name

Logical name for the deployment manager. The name must be unique within the cell.

Information	Value
Data type	String

(ZOS) Short name

Short name of the deployment manager server.

The server short name must be unique within a cell. The short name identifies the server to the native facilities of the operating system, such as workload manager (WLM), Automatic Restart Manager, System Authorization Facility (SAF) (for example, Resource Access Control Facility (RACF )), started task control, and others.

The name can be 1-8 alphanumeric or national language characters and cannot start with a numeric.

The system assigns a cell-unique, default short name.

If we change a 7-character deployment manager short name to an 8-character short name, we must update the start command arguments for the servant to use the new 8-character short name. See Converting a 7-character server short name to 8 characters.

Information	Value
Data type	String

(ZOS) Unique ID

Unique ID of this deployment manager server.

The unique ID property is read only. The system automatically generates the value.

Information	Value
Data type	String

(ZOS) Run in 64 bit JVM mode

Run the deployment manager in 64-bit addressing mode.

Information	Value
Default	true (checked)

Start components as needed

Select this property to have server components started as needed for applications that run on this server.

When not selected, all of the server components are started during the startup process. Therefore, selecting this property usually results in improved startup time because fewer components are started during the startup process.

If we are running other WebSphere products on top of the this product, make sure that those other products support this functionality before we select this property.

Process ID

Specifies a string that identifies the process.

Information	Value
Data type	String
Default	None

Cell name

Name of the cell for the deployment manager. The default is the name of the host computer on which the deployment manager is installed with Cell## appended, where ## is a two-digit number.

Information	Value
Data type	String
Default	host_nameCell01

Node name

Name of the node for the deployment manager. The default is the name of the host computer on which the deployment manager is installed with CellManager## appended, where ## is a two-digit number.

Information	Value
Data type	String
Default	host_nameCellManager01
