Difference Between Visual Admin Tool and Config Tool

The config tool and Visual Administrator (VA) are administration and configuration tools for SAP NetWeaver AS Java. The config tool requires only the database to be running and is used for JVM settings and configuration of services and managers. VA requires the database and Java to be running and can be used remotely to configure, start, and stop services. The key differences are that the config tool cannot remotely configure or start/stop Java, while VA allows changing parameters at runtime and starting/stopping the AS Java.
