One Agent Per Application Server Installation

You should only use one Management Agent to manage an Application Server installation. The reason is because if you use multiple agents to manage the same application server it can lead to slow response times and unpredictable results such as this scenario:

  • Management Agent A

    WAS_HOME/Profile1/ServerA: EnterpriseOne HTML Server

  • Management Agent B

    WAS_HOME/Profile1/ServerA:

For the above two agents, Management Agent B cannot determine if Management Agent A has an EnterpriseOne HTML Server installed on WAS61/Profile1/ServerA. As a result, if you start or stop ServerA you would also unknowingly start or stop the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne HTML Web Server.
