6.6.0.1.6: Starting and stopping resources

To start or stop a resource:

  1. Locate the resource in the tree view or details view.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Select an action from the Console menu on the menu bar
    • Select an action from the right-click menu of the resource

Actions pertaining to starting and stopping resources can include the following. See below for restrictions.

Start
Changes the resource to running state.
Restart
Stops a resource, then returns the resource to the state it was in before it (or its parent resource) was stopped.

For example, suppose you performed Stop for Restart (or just Restart) on a running administrative server node containing application server "A" in the stopped state and application server "B" in the running state. The Restart command would cause application server A to remain stopped. It would return application server B to the running state, along with the administrative server.

Stop
Stops the resource.

For an administrative server node, this action stops the administrative server running on the node. It does not shut down the operating system.

Stop for Restart
Stops a resource and any resources contained by the resource, in preparation for the Restart command.

It can be useful for stopping and restarting an administrative server that contains multiple application servers, some of which are running and others of which are stopped. Using a combination of Stop for Restart and then Restart will return the application servers to their former states (stopped or running) when the administrative server is restarted.

Force Stop
Stops the resource when the regular Stop action is ineffective. Use the option when the administrative server or other resource is in a strange state and cannot be stopped using the ordinary Stop action.
Notes and restrictions

Not all resources can be started or stopped. Depending on the resource type, all, some, or none of the actions might be available. Options could be unavailable (grayed out or omitted entirely) for resources that cannot be started or stopped, or are presently in the wrong state to be started or stopped. For example, trying to stop an already stopped resource is not a valid action.
