WebSphere Configuration Files
Application server configuration files define the available application servers, their configurations, and their contents.
A configuration repository stores configuration data. Configuration repositories reside in the config subdirectory of the profile root directory.
A cell-level repository stores configuration data for the entire cell and is managed by a file repository service that runs in the deployment manager.
The deployment manager and each node have their own repositories. A node-level repository stores configuration data that is needed by processes on that node and is accessed by the node agent and application servers on that node.
The master repository is comprised of following .xml configuration files
