The sample topology in this topic shows the middleware
agent when introduced into the WebSphere® Extended Deployment
Compute Grid and WebSphere Virtual Enterprise products. The features
of the WebSphere Virtual Enterprise product apply
to the management of theWebSphere Extended Deployment
Compute Grid environment
and its associated background workload only when the two products
are deployed together.
Topology in the WebSphere Extended Deployment
Compute Grid and WebSphere Virtual Enterprise environment
WebSphere
Extended Deployment native jobs can run anywhere there is a middleware
agent or node agent. The middleware agent is embedded inside of the
node agent. The job scheduler determines which node to run a native
job on, depending on the job scheduling criteria information in the
jobs. WebSphere
Compute Grid jobs jobs
(scalable batch or compute-intensive) can run on any WebSphere application
server that hosts the J2EE application described in the job definition.
The middleware agent is required on any node that is prior to Version
6.1.
