One instance of the EAC serves as the EAC Central Server for your implementation. This instance includes a WSDL-enabled interface, through which you communicate with the EAC. Communication is implemented with the standard Web services protocol, SOAP.
The EAC Central Server also contains a repository that stores provisioning information — that is, data about the hosts, components, applications and scripts that the EAC is managing.
Note
You should configure only one EAC Central Server for a given application. The EAC can run into issues when multiple Central Servers are provisioned with the same application on the same EAC Agents (for example, it can lead to confusing clean-up instructions being sent to the Agents from multiple Central Servers, which can interrupt scripts).
