The deployment manager is an administration application that runs
in a special application server, which is created when you install WebSphere
Application Server Network Deployment or when you create a new profile using
the deployment manager profile template. With the deployment manager, you
can administer multiple WebSphere Application Server nodes. This topic describes
how you start and stop the application server for the deployment manager.
Before you begin
Before you can start or stop the deployment manager, you must first
install WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment.
About this task
Start the deployment manager so that you can manage all the elements
of the WebSphere Application Serve cell. Stop the deployment manager as needed,
such as when migrating to a new version of WebSphere Application Server Network
Deployment, when uninstalling the product, and so on.
Procedure
- Start the deployment manager.
Use one of these methods
to start the application server for a deployment manager:
- Use the startManager Qshell script .
For information about how to start
a deployment manager application server with the startManager script, see
the startManager command topic.
- Use the startServer Qshell script.
For information about how to start
an application server with the startServer script, see the startServer command topic.
- Use the Submit Job (SBMJOB) CL command.
You can run this CL command
from an i5/OS command line:
SBMJOB CMD(CALL PGM(product_library/QWASSTRSVR) PARM('-profilePath'
'profile_root' '-server' 'deployment manager')) JOB(server)
JOBD(QWAS61/QWASJOBD) JOBQ(QWAS61/QWASJOBQ) USER(QEJBSVR) LANGID(*USRPRF)
CNTRYID(*USRPRF) CCSID(*USRPRF) OUTQ(QWAS61/QWASOUTQ) ALWMLTTHD(*YES)
where
- profile_root is the profile root of the deployment manager.
- deployment manager is the name of the deployment manager server
that you want to start.
- Stop the deployment manager.
Use one of these methods
to stop the application server for a deployment manager:
- Use the stopManager Qshell script.
For information about how to stop
the deployment manager with the stopManager script, see the stopManager command topic.
- Use the stopServer Qshell script.
For information about how to stop
the deployment manager with the stopServer script, see the stopServer command topic.
- Use the End Job (ENDJOB) CL command.
To use the ENDJOB CL command to
end an application server, enter this command on an i5/OS command line:
ENDJOB JOB(jobNumber/QEJBSVR/jobName) OPTION(*CNTRLD) DELAY(delayTime)
where
jobNumber is the job number,
jobName is the
name of the application server job for the deployment manager, and
delayTime is
the amount of time to wait for the job to end in seconds. Use a value of 600
seconds initially. To find out what the appropriate delayTime is, see
Shutting down the WebSphere Application Server subsystem.
- Use the Network Deployment deployment manager administrative console.
Results
You have started the deployment manager and have optionally stopped
it.
What to do next
