Deployment managers
A dmgr is a server that manages operations for a logical group, or cell, of other servers. The dmgr is the central location for administering the servers and clusters.
When creating a deployment environment, the dmgr profile is the first profile created. The dmgr has a First steps console, from which you can start and stop the dmgr and start its administrative console. You use the administrative console of the dmgr to manage the servers and clusters in the cell. This includes configuring servers and clusters, adding servers to clusters, starting and stopping servers and clusters, and deploying SCA modules.
Although the dmgr is a type of server, you cannot deploy modules to the dmgr itself.
