A Deployment Target is an endpoint where you deploy your application component(s) to. All endpoint related parameters, e.g. port numbers, IP addresses and directories are typically related to the deployment target and can be configured there. The execution itself will be handled by the assigned operating system agent.
Deployment targets are the endpoints in the Deployment Model where the application's components are deployed to.
Each deployment target is linked to a physical agent, although an agent can serve several deployment targets.
Deployment Targets can belong to any number of environments; e.g. a srv001 target can be used both in an integration test environment and for unit tests of an application.
You may also define a Handler which manages your deployment target, e.g. a websphere application manager handles multiple websphere application servers. Handlers cannot be nested (one deployment target can only declare max. one handler; a deployment target which handles other deployment targets may not declare a handler).
