The provisioning system enables you to provision and manage applications.
The WebSphere 5.1 plug-in provides both plans and component procedures as tools for you to perform tasks. By using plans, you link directly to the functionality you desire. Using component procedures, you have a greater number of tasks that you can perform. Any task that you can perform using a plan included with the WebSphere Plug-In, you can perform by using a component procedure.
The WebSphere 5.1 plug-in organizes tasks in four categories: application tasks, infrastructure tasks, configuration tasks, and advanced tasks. These four task categories follow the same convention for describing the task that you must perform.
