Stopping business-level applications

We can use wsadmin.sh and the BLAManagement command group to stop business-level applications.

There are two ways to complete this task. Use the BLAManagement (AdminTask) or the scripts in the AdminBLA script library to stop the business-level applications.

• Use the AdminTask object to stop business-level applications.

  1. Start the wsadmin scripting tool.
     

  2. List the business-level applications in the environment.

     Use the listBLAs command to display a list of business-level applications in the environment:

     AdminTask.listBLAs()

     We can optionally specify the partial name of the business-level application of interest to display the configuration ID of the business-level application. The command accepts a partial business-level application name if the system matches the specified name to a unique configuration ID. Use the following example to set the configuration ID of the myBLA business-level application to the blaID variable:

     myBLA=AdminTask.listBLAs('-blaID BLA1')

  3. Determine the status of the business-level application.

     Use the getBLAStatus command to display the status of the business-level application of interest:

     AdminTask.getBLAStatus('-blaID myBLA')

     The command returns the status of the business-level application as STOPPED or RUNNING.

  4. Stop the running business-level application.

     Use the stopBLA command to stop the business-level application:

     AdminTask.stopBLA('-blaID myBLA')

     The command returns the following message if the system successfully stops the business-level application:

     BLA ID of stopped BLA if the BLA was not already stopped.

• Use the Jython script library to stop business-level applications.

  1. Start the wsadmin scripting tool.
     

  2. List the business-level applications in the environment.

     Use the listBLAs script to display a list of business-level applications in the environment, using the following syntax:

     AdminBLA.listBLAs(blaName, displayDescription)

     We can specify one, both, or neither the blaName and displayDescription arguments. Use the blaName argument to specify the name of a specific business-level application, and the displayDescription argument to specify whether to display the description of each returned business-level application. Specify an empty string in place of arguments that we do not want to specify:

     AdminBLA.listBLAs("", "true")

  3. Stop the business-level application.

     Use the stopBLA script to stop the business-level application, using the following syntax:

     AdminBLA.stopBLA(blaName)

     Use the blaName argument to specify the name of the business-level application to stop:

     AdminBLA.stopBLA("myBLA")
