Purpose of the Sun Java Enterprise System Application Server Plug-In

The N1 Grid Service Provisioning System software provides enhanced capabilities in out-of-the-box support for Sun Java Enterprise System Application Server applications. You can capture an Application Server application from a reference server, select precisely how this application should be configured, and deploy the application to standalone, managed, or clustered Application Server environments.

The following benefits are achieved when using the provisioning system rather than performing Application Server installations and deployments manually.

• Simultaneous deployment to all hosts in a host set.

• Logging and reporting that creates detailed logs of every action taken by the system across all applications and managed servers. These logs provide a complete audit history of every change made to every host.
