Smart stop

Smart stop is available in the Runtime topology view, for stopping a WebSphere Application Server managed server. Smart stop attempts to slow activity in a given WebSphere Application Server managed server before stopping it.

When you left-click a server instance, a menu provides two stop options. The first option, Stop server, stops the server and negates any current requests in whatever state they are in.

The second option, Smart stop server, does the following:
  1. Disables the dynamic workload manager (DWLM) for the server in question, removing this server from the set of servers DWLM considers for work load.
  2. Sets the weight of the server to zero. The server weight returns to its normal value if it is restarted.
  3. Checks for up to 30 seconds for any active HTTP requests running in the server for active HTTP sessions.
  4. Runs the server shutdown sequence, if the first three steps return successfully and no active requests are running in the server.
