You can configure complete life-cycle middleware servers
so that the dynamic operations environment can govern all aspects
of server operations, create and remove server instances, and deploy
applications to the servers.
About this task
By configuring complete life-cycle servers, the environment
performs the following tasks on your middleware servers:
- Create and remove server instances based on the needs of the dynamic
operations environment
- Govern all aspects of server configuration
- Provide operational control over the server
- Deploy applications to the server
- Visualize and monitor server health and performance
- Use expression-based dynamic clustering (for PHP servers, WebSphere® Application
Server Community Edition servers, and application
servers)
Avoid trouble: On the administrative console, when
you select , and then click
Stop for a middleware
server that displays a status of Started, you can intermittently receive
an error. The following message is an example of the error:
Error xdblade31b04/WASMaintModeDC1_xdblade31b04 has not been started.
The
server cannot be stopped from this page when this situation occurs.
As a work-around, complete one of the following actions to stop
the started middleware server:
- Click . Then click Stop for a middleware
server that displays a status of Started.
- Stop and then start the servers from the command line.

What to do next
You can create dynamic clusters of application servers
, WebSphere Application
Server Community Edition servers, and PHP
servers.
