Disable Managed Server independence

Before you begin

The server instance for which you want to disable MSI does not need to be running.

When a Managed Server starts, it tries to contact the Administration Server to retrieve its configuration information. If a Managed Server cannot connect to the Administration Server during startup, it can retrieve its configuration by reading configuration and security files directly. A Managed Server that starts in this way is running in Managed Server Independence (MSI) mode.

By default, MSI mode is enabled.

To disable MSI:

If you have not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit (see Use the Change Center).
Select Environment > Servers and click the name of the Managed Server instance.
Select Configuration > Tuning and click Advanced at the bottom of the page.
Clear the Managed Server Independence Enabled check box.
Click Save.
To activate these changes, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Activate Changes.
Not all changes take effect immediately—some require a restart (see Use the Change Center).

After you finish

If the Managed Server is running, restart it.
