Difference Between
visual Admin tool
and config tool
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Config Tool and Visual Administrator(VA) are the administration and configuration tools in SAP
Netweaver AS Java.
The prerequisite for the config tool is database must be running, as this tool is used to maintain
the SAP Netweaver AS Java settings in the database. It is not necessary that Java should be
running to use config tool.
The Java Virtual Memory(JVM) settings can only be maintained with the config tool.
Configuration of services and managers can be done with config tool
Limitations of Config tool :
With visual administrator, we can logon to the P4 port of the AS Java. Hence both database and
java should be running. This is the prerequisite for VA.
