Intelligent Management: hadmgrRemove command
The Intelligent Management command that equates to hadmgrRemove is xd_hadmgrRemove. If you are making the transition from WebSphere Virtual Enterprise, you can continue to use the xd_hadmgrRemove command, which operates the same as the hadmgrRemove command.
manageODC.py script
The WebSphere Virtual Enterprise command that equates to manageODC.py is ve_manageODC.py. If you are making the transition from WebSphere Virtual Enterprise, you can continue to use the ve_manageODC.py command, which operates the same as the manageODC.py command.
workclassoperations.py script

Dynamic operations
In WebSphere Virtual Enterprise, controllers start automatically as highly available managed items unless explicitly suppressed. In Intelligent Management, controllers are dormant until they detect that they are needed. When the controllers are needed, they become active. When the controllers detect that they are no longer needed, they become dormant again. Controllers that are disabled or are in manual mode do not use this detection capability.
BBSON bulletin board
The WebSphere Virtual Enterprise command that equates to manageBBSON.py is manageWVEBB.py. If you are making the transition from WebSphere Virtual Enterprise, you can continue to use the manageWVEBB.py command, which operates the same as the manageBBSON.py command.
manageBBSON.py script
The WebSphere Virtual Enterprise command that equates to manageBBSON.py is manageWVEBB.py. If you are making the transition from WebSphere Virtual Enterprise, you can continue to use the manageWVEBB.py command, which operates the same as the manageBBSON.py command.
