In WebSphere Application Server - Express V5.0, the
application server is administered from WebSphere Studio Site Developer.
When the server starts or stops, logging of the server activity is sent to
the console view of the server perspective, so that all the output from a
running server instance, including starting and stopping, is monitored
from the console view.
Beginning with WebSphere Application Server - Express V5.0.1 and in
V5.0.2, an administrative console is installed to manage the Application
Server. When the application server starts and stops from the
administrative console, logging of the startup and shutdown processes is
written to separate files.These log files are created in directory
location WAS_INSTALL_DIR\AppServer\logs\srv_instance_name, where
WAS_INSTALL_DIR is the directory that WebSphere Application Server -
Express Server is installed, and srv_instance_name is the name of
the server instance.
For example, if the server instance name is default server1,
then the log files are written to the
WAS_INSTALL_DIR\AppServer\logs\server1 directory. Following are the log
files created:
- startServer.log - traces application server activity
during startup.
- stopServer.log - traces application server activity during
shutdown.
While the server is running, a server1.pid file in the same location
contains the operating system process id associated with that server
instance. |
