Starting and terminating generic application servers

This topic describes how to start and terminate generic servers.

About this task

[AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris Windows] [z/OS] For the Base WebSphere Application Server product, you cannot use the administrative console to create a generic application server definition or use the administrative console to start, stop or, in any way, control or manage that application server. The Base product administrative console can only be used to create server definitions and, if necessary, adjust the server definitions that it creates. To manage Base generic application servers, you need to use the command prompt environment, such as startServer <genericServerName> or stopServer <genericServerName> or serverStatus <genericServerName>. The wsadmin tool has no functional role in the Base application server environment.

If you create a generic server in a Network Deployment environment, you can use the administrative console to start and terminate this server.

Procedure

  1. Start a generic application server.

    There are two ways to start a generic server in a Network Deployment environment. You can use the MBean NodeAgent launchProcess operation of the wsadmin tool, or you can use the administrative console. To use the administrative console:

    1. In the administrative console, click Servers > Generic Servers.
    2. Select the name of the generic server you want to start, and then click Start.
    1. View the Status value and any messages or logs to see whether the generic server starts.
  2. Terminate generic servers.
