Administering jobs in a flexible management environment using wsadmin scripting (deprecated)

Use the flexible management environment to locally or remotely submit and manage administrative jobs. You can use the job manager to manage applications, modify configurations, and control the application server run time.

About this task

Deprecated feature: The job manager is deprecated. Instead of job manager, use Urban Code Deploy to install the product, to deploy applications, and to manage remote hosts. To manage WebSphere® Application Server installations, you also can use swinging profiles. See Swinging profiles between product installations.

You can administer multiple application servers that run customer applications from a management profile that contains an administrative agent. The administrative agent provides a single administrative console to administer the application servers.

You can coordinate management actions among multiple deployment managers, asynchronously administer multiple unfederated application servers, and submit jobs to start servers from a management profile that contains a job manager. In order to begin using the job manager to run jobs, register your application server and deployment manager nodes as managed nodes of the job manager.

Use the following steps to use a flexible management environment:

Procedure

Create an administrative agent management node.
Create a job manager management node.
Register application server and deployment manager nodes as managed nodes on the job manager.
Create managed node groups to submit administrative jobs across nodes.
Submit administrative jobs.
Monitor job progress.
Manage your flexible management configuration.
