the activation plan. This reduces the <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> footprint<br />

and the resources needed for a given application portfolio.<br />

We discuss this more in 3.1.14, “Intelligent runtime provisioning” on page 72.<br />

► Administrative scripting enhancement<br />

Administrative scripting wsadmin has been enhanced in <strong>WebSphere</strong><br />

<strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> <strong>V7.0</strong>. It provides a set of sample Jython libraries to<br />

accelerate automation implementations. It introduces new adminstrative<br />

tasks, improves help with Command Assistant, and supports wildcard usage.<br />

► Properties file based configuration<br />

<strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> <strong>V7.0</strong> supports properties file based<br />

configuration, so that you can extract a <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong><br />

configuration from a server into a property file. Manipulating the content in the<br />

property file, such as the environment name, allows you to use the modified<br />

property file to configure the same <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong><br />

configuration in another server. Alternatively, you can also alter the value of a<br />

field and use the modified property file to make the new <strong>WebSphere</strong><br />

<strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> configuration change in the same server.<br />

► Manage <strong>WebSphere</strong> DataPower through the Integrated Solutions Console<br />

In <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> <strong>V7.0</strong>, you can manage <strong>WebSphere</strong><br />

DataPower through the Integrated Solutions Console. It provides flexibility to<br />

have all administration in one place.<br />

We discuss this more in 2.5, “<strong>WebSphere</strong> DataPower” on page 41.<br />

► Fine-grained administrative security<br />

<strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> <strong>V7.0</strong> supports fine-grained security control,<br />

which expands the administration scope. We can restrict access based on the<br />

roles on the cell, node, server, cluster, application and node group level. This<br />

capability is valuable in big organizations where you have different teams<br />

responsible for supporting different applications.<br />

► Centralized installation manager<br />

The centralized installation manager (CIM) allows you to install and uninstall<br />

<strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> binaries and maintenance patches from a<br />

centralized location (the deployment manager) to any servers in the network.<br />

This capability allows flexibility so that you can perform installation and<br />

uninstallation from a central place.<br />

We discuss this more in 3.1.13, “Centralized installation manager” on<br />

page 72.<br />
