Stopping applications

We can use wsadmin.sh to stop applications.

There are two ways to complete this task. The example in this topic uses the AdminControl object to stop the application. Alternatively, we can use the scripts in the AdminApplication script library to start, stop, and administer the application configurations.

1. Start the wsadmin scripting tool.

2. Identify the application manager MBean for the server where the application resides, and assign it to the appManager variable.

   • Jacl:

     set appManager [$AdminControl queryNames cell=mycell,node=mynode,type=
     ApplicationManager,process=server1,*]

   • Jython:

     appManager = AdminControl.queryNames('cell=mycell,node=mynode,type=
     ApplicationManager,process=server1,*')
     print appManager

   the queryNames command to get the name of the application

   Command element	Description
   set	is a Jacl command
   appManager	is a variable name
   $	is a Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
   AdminControl	is an object that enables the manipulation of MBeans running in a WebSphere server process
   queryNames	is an AdminControl command
   cell=mycell,node=mynode,type= ApplicationManager,process=server1	is the hierarchical containment path of the configuration object
   print	is a Jython command

   This command returns the application manager MBean.

   Example output:

   WebSphere:cell=mycell,name=ApplicationManager,mbeanIdentifier=ApplicationManager, type=ApplicationManager,node=mynode,process=server1

3. Query the running applications belonging to this server and assign the result to the apps variable.

   • Jacl:

     set apps [$AdminControl queryNames cell=mycell,node=mynode,type=Application,process=server1,*]

   • Jython:

     # get line separator  import  java.lang.System  as sys
     lineSeparator = sys.getProperty('line.separator')
      apps = AdminControl.queryNames('cell=mycell,node=mynode,type=Application, process=server1,*').split(lineSeparator)
     print apps

   Command element	Description
   set	is a Jacl command
   apps	is a variable name
   $	is a Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
   AdminControl	is an object that enables the manipulation of MBeans running in a WebSphere server process
   queryNames	is an AdminControl command
   cell=mycell,node=mynode,type= ApplicationManager,process=server1	is the hierarchical containment path of the configuration object
   print	is a Jython command

   This command returns a list of application MBeans.

   Example output:

   WebSphere:cell=mycell,name=adminconsole,mbeanIdentifier=deployment.xml
   #ApplicationDeployment_1,type=Application,node=mynode,Server=server1, process=server1,J2EEName=adminconsole
   WebSphere:cell=mycell,name=filetransfer,mbeanIdentifier=deployment.xml
   #ApplicationDeployment_1,type=Application,node=mynode,Server=server1, process=server1,J2EEName=filetransfer

4. Stop all the running applications.

   • Jacl:

     foreach app $apps {
          set appName [$AdminControl getAttribute $app name]
          $AdminControl invoke $appManager stopApplication $appName}

   • Jython:

     for app in apps:
         appName = AdminControl.getAttribute(app, 'name')
         AdminControl.invoke(appManager, 'stopApplication', appName)

   This command stops all the running applications by invoking the stopApplication operation on the MBean, passing in the application name to stop.

Results

Once you complete the steps for this task, all running applications on the server are stopped.
