Use this page to view information about and manage application
servers, Java message service (JMS) servers, and Web servers.
Application servers
The Application servers page lists the application servers in the cell.
You can use this page to perform the following actions for the listed application
servers:
- Start an application server. To start an application server, select the
server that you want to start, and then click Start.
- Restart an application server. To restart an application server, select
the server that you want to restart, and then click Restart. When you
restart an application server, the selected application server stops, following
the normal server quiesce process, and then starts again.
- Stop an application server. To stop an application server, select the
server that you want to stop, and then click one of the following buttons:
- STOP
- When you click this button, the normal server quiesce process is followed.
This process allows in-flight requests to complete before the entire server
process shuts down.
- Immediate Stop
- When you click this button, the selected sever stops but the normal server
quiesce process is not followed. This shutdown mode is faster than the normal
server stop processing, but some application clients might receive exceptions
if an in-flight request does not complete before the server process shuts
down.
- Terminate
- You should only click Terminate if the application server does
not respond when you click Stop or Immediate Stop or when you
issue the Stop or ImmediateStop commands. Some application clients can receive
exceptions. Therefore, you should always attempt an immediate stop before
clicking Terminate.
- Delete an application server. To delete an application server, select
the application server that you want to delete, and then click Delete.
To view this administrative console page, click Servers > Application
servers.
The Generic servers page is only available
for the Network Deployment product. This page lists the generic servers in
the cell and displays the status of these generic servers. You can use this
page to perform the following actions for the listed generic servers:
- Start a generic server. To start a generic server, select the server that
you want to start, and then click Start.
- Stop a generic server. To stop a generic server, select the server that
you want to stop, and then click one of the following buttons:
- STOP
- When you click this button, the normal server quiesce process is followed.
This process allows in-flight requests to complete before the entire server
process shuts down.
- Terminate
- You should only click Terminate if the generic server does not
respond when you click Stop or Immediate Stop or when you issue
the Stop or ImmediateStop commands. Some application clients can receive exceptions.
Therefore, you should always attempt an immediate stop before clicking Terminate.
- Delete a generic server. To delete a generic server, select the generic
server that you want to delete, and then click Delete.
You can also use this page to create a new generic server or a new generic
server template. To create a new generic server, click New. To create
a new generic server template, click Templates.
Java message service (JMS) servers
The JMS servers page lists the JMS servers in the cell. You can use this
page to start and stop these JMS servers. Each JMS server provides the functions
of the JMS provider for a node in your administrative domain. There can be
at most one JMS server on each node in the administration domain, and any
application server within the domain can access JMS resources served by any
JMS server on any node in the domain. To view this administrative console
page, click Servers > JMS servers.
Note: JMS servers apply only to WebSphere Application Server Version 5.x nodes.
You cannot create a JMS server on a node that is running WebSphere Application
Server 6.x, but the existing Version 5.x JMS servers continue to be displayed,
and you can modify their properties. However, you cannot use this page to
delete a Version 5.x JMS server.
Web servers
The Web servers page lists the Web servers in your administrative domain.
You can use this page to generate and propagate a Web server plug-in configuration
file, create new Web servers, create new Web server templates, or delete existing
Web servers. You can also use this page to start and stop these Web servers.
To view this administrative console page, click Servers > Web servers.
