The preceding sections described how you can control a node and JVMs contained in the node: changing its operational state and changing its configuration. There are many elements contained within a node over which you have these same types of control. Many facets of an application -- such as channels, high availability features, and so on -- can be started, stopped, and reconfigured using the same management tools.

The remainder of this chapter is devoted to these features that are contained in a node, and which you manage as part of managing a node.
