Working with your new server

Once you complete the customization instructions, you will have a WebSphere® Application Server for z/OS® stand-alone application server. The application server includes a (simple) cell and node structure. This article provides useful information for when you work with your new server.

Before starting your server

Make sure that the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS product file system and configuration file system are mounted. If you chose to load the SBBOLPA (and possibly SBBOLOAD) into the system link pack area, make sure that these libraries are loaded into LPA before starting the server.

Starting the stand-alone application server

To start your stand-alone application server, issue the following MVS™ console command:
START server_proc,JOBNAME=server_name,ENV=cell_name.node_name.server_name
where: If you chose default values and your system is named MVSA, for example, you would enter the following START command:
START BBO6ACR,JOBNAME=BBOS001,ENV=MVSA.MVSA.BBOS001
The START command brings up the controller. The controller starts the location service daemon, then uses WLM to start the servant. You should see a message like the following when the entire server is up and running:
BBOO0019I INITIALIZATION COMPLETE FOR WEBSPHERE FOR Z/OS CONTROL PROCESS BBOS001

Accessing the server administrative console

Once the server is successfully started, access the administrative console port by pointing a Web browser to the following URL:
http://hostname:http_port/ibm/console
where: Until global security is enabled, you will see a sign-on screen that asks you for a user ID but no password.

The user ID can be anything and is used only to provide basic tracking of changes. Be aware that, until you enable global security, anyone with a Web browser and access to the HTTP port can modify your application serving environment.

You can use the administrative console, scripting, or both to manage the application server and deploy and manage J2EE applications.

Accessing the Samples Gallery

If you chose to install the sample applications, you can access them by pointing a Web browser to the following URL:
http://hostname:http_port/WSsamples/
where:

Stopping your stand-alone application server

The easiest way to stop the stand-alone application server is to stop the location service daemon. The location service daemon holds pointers to modules in common storage, and stopping it forces the rest of the cell to shut down. To stop the location service daemon, enter the following MVS console command:
STOP daemon_jobname
where daemon_jobname is the location service daemon jobname. The default location service daemon jobname for a stand-alone application server is BBODMNB.
