Process definition settings

Use this page to configure a process definition. A process definition includes the command line information necessary to start or initialize a process.

To view this administrative console page, click Servers > Application Servers > server_name. Then under Server Infrastructure click Java Process Management > Process Definition.

On the z/OS platform you must then select either Control, Servant, or Adjunct.

For the z/OS platform, this page provides command-line information for starting, initializing, or stopping a process. Each of the commands for which information is provided can be used for the control process. Only the Start command and Start Command Args information applies for the servant process. Specify the commands for the control process on one process definition panel and the commands for the servant process on another process definition panel. Do not specify the commands for the two different processes on the same panel.

Configuration tab

Start Command (startCommand)

This command line information specifies the platform-specific command to launch the server process.

z/OS control process
Data type String
Format START control_JCL_procedure_name
Example START BBO6ACR
z/OS servant process

For the z/OS servant process, the value on the start command specifies the procedure name that workload manager (WLM) uses to start the servant process. WLM only uses this value if the WLM dynamic application environment feature is installed.

Data type String
Format servant_JCL_procedure_name
Example BBO6ASR

Start Command Args (startCommandArgs)

This command line information specifies any additional arguments required by the start command.

z/OS control process
Data type String
Format JOBNAME=server_short_name,ENV=cell_short_name.node_short_name.server_short_name
Example JOBNAME=BBOS001,ENV=SY1.SY1.BBOS001
z/OS servant process
Data type String
Format JOBNAME=server_short_nameS,ENV=cell_short_name.node_short_name.server_short_name
Example JOBNAME=BBOS001S,ENV=SY1.SY1.BBOS001
Note: For the z/OS platform, the server short name (JOBNAME) contains 7 characters by default, but you can lengthen the short name to 8 characters.

Stop Command (stopCommand)

This command line information specifies the platform-specific command to stop the server process

Specify two commands in the field, one for the Stop command and one for the Immediate Stop (CANCEL) command.
Data type String
Format STOP server_short_name;CANCEL server_short_name
z/OS example STOP BBOS001;CANCEL BBOS001

Stop Command Args (stopCommandArgs)

This command line information specifies any additional arguments required by the stop command.

Specify arguments for the Stop command and the Immediate Stop (CANCEL) command.
Data type String
Format stop command arg string;immediate stop command arg string
z/OS Example ;ARMRESTART

In this example, Stop has no arguments. Immediate Stop has the argument ARMRESTART. A semicolon precedes ARMRESTART.

Terminate Command (terminateCommand)

This command line information specifies the platform-specific command to terminate the server process.

Data type String
Format FORCE server_short_name
z/OS example FORCE BBOS001

Terminate Command Args (terminateCommandArgs)

This command line information specifies any additional arguments required by the terminate command.

The default is an empty string.
Data type String
Format terminate command arg string
z/OS example ARMRESTART

Working directory

Specifies the file system directory that the process uses as its current working directory. The process uses this directory to determine the locations of input and output files with relative path names.

This field is not available for the z/OS control process.

Data type String

Executable target type

Select whether the executable target is a Java class or an executable JAR file.

Executable target

Specifies the name of the executable target. If the target type is a Java class name, this field contains the main() method. If the target type is an executable JAR file, this field contains the name of that JAR file.

Data type String
