Custom service collection

View a list of services available to the application server and to see whether the services are enabled. A custom service provides the ability to plug into an application server and define code that runs when the server starts or shuts down.

From the admin console, click...

        Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers > server. Then, in the Server Infrastructure section, click Administration > Custom services.

If we are developing a custom service for a node agent, click...

        System administration > Node agents > node_agent_name. Then, in the Additional Properties section, click Custom services to view this administrative console page.
