Administer stand-alone nodes using the administrative agent

We can configure an administrative agent and view or change stand-alone application server nodes registered to the administrative agent. An administrative agent provides a single interface to administer application servers in, for example, development, unit test, or server farm environments.

Install the WebSphere Application Server product.

The administrative agent provides a single interface to administer multiple stand-alone application server nodes in, development, unit test, or server farm environments, for example. By using a single interface to administer the application servers, you reduce the overhead of running administrative services in every application server.

We can use the dmgr console of the administrative agent to configure the administrative agent and view and change properties for nodes registered to the administrative agent.


Results

Depending on the steps that you completed, you might have configured the administrative agent, or viewed or changed properties for a node registered to the administrative agent.

We can continue to administer registered nodes from the administrative agent. We can further configure the administrative agent using the links on the configuration tab of the administrative agent panel. We can register more nodes with the administrative agent using the registerNode command. We can unregister nodes from the administrative agent using the deregisterNode command.
