This topic assumes that you are attempting to start your application
server profile. See Starting WebSphere Application Server if you have not
yet attempted to start the application server.
About this task
When WebSphere Application Server is ready for use, a message
is written to the job log of the application server job indicating that WebSphere
Application Server is ready for use.
Issue all of the commands
in this procedure from the Control Language (CL) command line.
Procedure
- Run the Work with Active Jobs (WRKACTJOB) command
from the CL command line, specifying the proper subsystem on the subsystem
(SBS) parameter:
- Find your application server job. The application server job for
the default application server profile is named SERVER1.
- Specify option 5 (Work with Job) on the
option line next to the job, then press Enter.
- On the command line of the Work with Job display, specify option 10
(Display job log, if active), then press Enter.
- Press F10 to display all messages.
Look for this message:
WebSphere application server application_server ready.
The
application_server variable is the name of your application server. The default application
server is named SERVER1.
If the message is not displayed, press F5 to
refresh the job log messages until the message is displayed.
When the
message is displayed, WebSphere Application Server has successfully started.
It may take up to 20 minutes for the message to be displayed, depending on
your iSeries server.
- To display the port number on which the application server is listening
for the administrative console, position the cursor on the last line of the
message and press F1.
The following message
is displayed:
WebSphere application server application_server
in job app_server_job is ready to handle administrative
requests on port port_number.
The application_server variable is the
name of your application server, the app_server_job variable
is the iSeries job name for your application server, and the port_number variable
is the number of the port used by the administrative console.
If the
administrative console application is not installed in the application server
profile or if the administrative console port cannot be displayed, the port_number
is *N.
