When installing a new application to IBM WebSphere Application Server, which location is valid for the
application file?

A.
Client Machine

B.
Managed Node

C.
Unmanaged Node

D.
Remote Web Server

Explanation:
Configuration file location during application installation
Several things occur upon installation of an application onto WebSphere Application Server:
The application binaries and deployment descriptors are stored within the master repository.
The application binaries and deployment descriptors are published to each node that will host the
application. These files are stored in the local copy of the repository on each node.
Each node then installs the applications that are ready for execution by exploding the EARs under
profile_root/installedApps/cell_name/, as follows:
– profile_root/installedApps/cell_name/
This directory contains a subdirectory for each application deployed to the local node.
– profile_root/installedApps/cell_name/app_name.ear/
Each application-specific directory contains the contents of the original EAR used to install the application.
Note: A node is a logical grouping of managed servers. Nodes can be managed or unmanaged. An
unmanaged node does not have a node agent or administrative agent to manage its servers, whereas a
managed node does. Both application servers and supported web servers can be on unmanaged or managed
nodes.
