You must monitor the status of runtime components to ensure that, once started, they remain operational as needed.
- Regularly examine the status of runtime components.
Browse messages displayed under WebSphere Runtime Messages in the status area at the bottom of the console. The runtime event messages, marked with a red X, provide detailed information on event processing.
- If an application stops running when it should be operational, examine the status of the application on an Applications page and try restarting the application.
- If the runtime components do not restart, reexamine the messages and read information on problem determination to help to restart the components.
