Job manager targets (deprecated)

Stand-alone application servers

Stand-alone application servers are also called unfederated or base application servers. They are not managed by a deployment manager. Stand-alone application servers typically have a profile name such as AppSvr01. You must register stand-alone application servers with an administrative agent before you can register the stand-alone application servers with the job manager. The administrative agent must be on the same computer as its stand-alone nodes. Registering the stand-alone nodes with the administrative agent enables the administrative agent to manage the nodes. Registering stand-alone nodes with a job manager enables the job manager to administer stand-alone application server nodes.

Deployment managers

Deployment managers are available in the Network Deployment product. A deployment manager can have a Version 6 or later federated node. A deployment manager that is registered with a job manager can manage a mixed version cell. Using the job manager, you can submit jobs that manage any resources in the mixed version cell, including resources on a Version 6 federated node.

Remote hosts

Remote hosts are host computers. The computer on which a WebSphere® Application Server product is installed can be a remote host. However, a remote host target is not required to have any WebSphere Application Server products installed. Further, any computer that uses a supported operating system can be a remote host. There are no software requirements for a host beyond its operating system.

To work with Liberty resources, at least one host must be registered with the job manager as a target.
