Start and stop an application server on *nix

Overview

Startng an application server starts both the application server and any applications that run inside the application server.

When starting an application server the application server might start successfully but applications running inside an application server may fail to start. Check the log files for errors.

Do not start a WebSphere Commerce or WebSphere Commerce Payments application server as root. Starting these application servers as root changes the permissions on important files which may cause commerce and commerce payments to function incorrectly.

Start a standalone system

su - WC_non_root_user
cd WC_PROFILE/bin
./startServer.sh application_server_name

Check the log files for any problems or errors...

WC_profileDir/logs/server1

Start a WAS ND system

1. Start the WAS Network Deployment manager profile:

   su - root ./startManager.sh

2. Check the log files for any problems or errors...

   WC_profileDir/logs/server1

3. Open the WAS Administrative Console.

4. Select the appropriate link from the left pane based on the version of WebSphere Application Server, and start the server.

5. If WebSphere Commerce Payments is not already started, start it after starting WebSphere Commerce.

Stop

To stop an application server, enter:

./stopServer.sh application_server_name

You can also use...

cd $WCS_HOME/bin
./config_ant.sh StopWAS

To stop the deployment manager:

./stopManager.sh
