Flexible management is a concept introduced with <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong><br />

<strong>Server</strong> <strong>V7.0</strong>. With flexible management components like the administrative agent<br />

and the job manager, you can build advanced and large-scale topologies and<br />

manage single and multiple application server environments from a single point<br />

of control. This reduces management and maintenance complexity.<br />

Multiple base profiles<br />

The administrative agent component of <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> provides<br />

administration services and functions to manage multiple stand-alone (Express<br />

and Base) application servers that are all installed in the same system.<br />

Figure 3-8 on page 63 shows the administrative agent management model<br />

introduced with <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> <strong>V7.0</strong>.<br />

It is possible to manage multiple administrative agents with a job manager. These<br />

administrative agents can reside on one or multiple systems.<br />

Cell<br />

Multiple release levels: You can upgrade a portion of the nodes in a cell,<br />

while leaving others at a previous release level. Also, you might be managing<br />

servers that are running multiple release levels in the same cell. It is<br />

recommended to use this feature only for migration scenarios.
