Keeping the WebSphere® Application Server running after exiting the development environment

To specify that the server will continue running after you shut down the development environment:

  1. In the Servers view, double-click the server. The server editor opens.

  2. On the Overview page, clear the

    Terminate server upon workbench shutdown check box. By default, this check box is clear.

  3. Save and close the editor.

  4. After the development environment is restarted, the workbench automatically reconnects to the server when you open the Servers view.

    1. If the server is connected successfully, the Status column in the Servers view displays any of the following status:

      • Started: If the remote server was initially started by right-clicking the server and select

        Start.

      • Debugging: If the remote server was initially started by right-clicking the server and select

        Debug.

      • Profiling: If the remote server was initially started by right-clicking the server and select

        Profile.
