Which two statements are true when an Administration Server is compared to a Managed Server? (Choose two.)

An Oracle WebLogic Server domain is centrally managed from the Administration Server. The Administration Server maintains the domain's configuration documents (like config.xml) and distributes changes to Managed Servers, making it the single point of management for the domain. Furthermore, the Administration Server maintains a domain-wide log file. While each server instance (both Administration and Managed) has its own local server log, only the Administration Server writes to the central domain log, which aggregates messages from all servers in the domain.

B. A domain must have one Administration Server, but Managed Servers are optional. A domain can function with only an Administration Server.
D. All WebLogic Server instances, including the Administration Server, maintain their own individual server log file (e.g., AdminServer.log).
E. While deploying applications to Managed Servers is a best practice for production, applications can also be deployed directly to the Administration Server, which is common in development environments.

Chapter 2: Understanding WebLogic Server Domains.

Section: Administration Server: "The Administration Server is the central point from which you configure and manage all resources in the domain... A domain can have only one Administration Server." This supports answer A.

Section: Managed Servers and Managed Server Clusters: "A domain can include one or more WebLogic Managed Servers... You can have a domain with an Administration Server only

which is a common practice in development environments." This refutes option B and provides context for refuting E.

Section: Domain Log File: "In addition to writing messages to its own server log file

each server in a domain forwards a subset of its messages to the Administration Server. The Administration Server writes these messages to a domain log file." This supports answer C.

Section: Server Log Files: "Each WebLogic Server instance writes all of its voice

error

and warning messages... to a server log file located on the local host computer." This confirms that the Administration Server also has a server log

refuting option D.
