4.8.5 Starting an enterprise application

An application starts automatically when the appserver to which it is mapped starts. You only need to start an application immediately after installing it, or if you have manually stopped it.

Application startup: Starting an appserver starts the applications mapped to that server. The order in which the applications start depends on the weights you assigned to each them. The application with the lowest starting weight is started first. Applications that have the same weight are started in no particular order. Enabling the parallel start option for the appserver means start applications with the same weight in parallel. To set the application starting weight, select Applications  | Enterprise Applications. To find the Starting weight field, open the configuration page for the application by clicking the application name.

An application can be started by following these steps from the console:

1.	Select Applications  | Enterprise Applications.

2.	Check the application you want and click Start.

In order to start an application, the appserver that contains the application has to be started. If not, the application displays in the console as unavailable and you are not able to start it.
