About Application Server deployments and profiles

This topic provides an overview of Application Server deployment and the different types of Application Servers:

Application Server deployments

A deployment is a directory of services that an Application Server runs. The table describes each deployment and the effect of configuration changes on it.

Application Server profiles

A profile is a definition of an Application Server identity: its name, type, and attributes. Each Application Server has a different profile. An Application Server profile is essentially a prepackaged set of configuration options for an Application Server. BMC Server Automation uses the profile to create and update an Application Server deployment (the services that the Application Server runs).
An Application Server profile can include attributes of one or more Application Server types. You specify the Application Server types when you create the Application Server. The attributes required for each type are predefined in the profile for the type.

 Application Server types

The Application Server Type defines the work that an Application Server performs and services that it runs.
The following table lists Application Server types.
