Stopping applications using the job manager

In a flexible management environment, we can submit the Stop application job to stop enterprise applications that are deployed and running on managed targets of the job manager.

The application to stop must be running on managed target of the job manager.

Start the job manager if it is not already running. If a target is a stand-alone application server, also start the administrative agent.

Use the administrative console of the job manager or the deployment manager to submit a job that stops the running of a deployed application. From the console, choose the Stop application job, specify the application to stop, specify job options, review the summary, and submit the job.

Stopping the application changes the application status to stopped. The application can no longer receive client requests.

Instead of using a console, we can run the stopApplication job script in the AdministrativeJobs command group. See the Administrative job types topic.

2. Choose a job to stop applications on managed targets.

   1. Select the Stop application job type from the list.

What to do next

On the Job status page, click the ID of the stop application job and view the job status. Click the status refresh icon

to refresh the displayed status.
