WAS Deployment Manager

The WAS Deployment Manager (Dmgr) is the main administration process that manages all other application servers in a WAS deployment cell, including node agents and application server processes.

Dmgr is required only for WAS configuration tasks. Therefore, this virtual machine typically had almost no CPU load when the ECM workload was running.
