RE: start application server from cl

["Christen, Duane" <Duane.Christen@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Tim;

In our case we start the server MAXDEVWAS60 and the apps in the server start automatically.

If you are wanting to start/stop an application in a currently running server then there are several ways to do that:


You can use the startnode/stopnode "command" found in the /bin directory of the server, if I remember correctly.

You can use the wsadmin "command" also found in the /bin directory

Or you can use ant scripting.

I have an ant script in the directory "/qibm/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/V6/Base/profile+
s/MAXDEVWAS60/installTools/startApplication.xml" Note: We created the installTools directory in all of our servers to store ant scripts and such for application instillation. 

<project name="startApplication" default="start">                
                                                                 
  <taskdef name="wsStartApp"                                     
           classname="com.ibm.websphere.ant.tasks.StartApplication/>                                                             
                                                                 
  <target name="start">                                                                                                        
    <wsStartApp application="${application}" />                                                                                   
  </target>                                                      
                                                                 
</project>                                                       

To run the script I have a CL with these lines:

CHGVAR     VAR(&QSHCOMMAND) +                                   
             VALUE('/qibm/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/V6/Base/+
             profiles/' *TCAT &SERVER *TCAT '/bin/ws_ant  +     
             -buildfile +                                       
             /qibm/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/V6/Base/profile+
             s/' *TCAT &SERVER *TCAT +                          
             '/installTools/startApplication.xml -Dapplication="' +   
             *TCAT &APPNAME *TCAT '"')
                                                                
QSH        CMD(&QSHCOMMAND)                                          

Where the variables &SERVER = MAXDEVWAS60 and &APPNAME = application name.

Copy the script and CL and change all the "start"s to stop and you can stop an application without ending the server.
