The deployment manager is an administration application
that runs in a special application server, which is created when you
install the WebSphere® Application Server, Network Deployment product or when you create a management
profile using the deployment manager profile template. With the deployment
manager, you can administer multiple WebSphere Application Server nodes. This topic
describes how you start and stop the deployment manager.
Before you begin
Before you can start or stop the deployment manager, you
must first install the WebSphere Application Server WebSphere Application Server, Network Deployment product.
About this task
Start the deployment manager so that you can manage all
the elements of the WebSphere Application Server cell.
Stop the deployment manager as needed, such as when migrating to a
new version of the WebSphere Application Server, Network Deployment product, when uninstalling the
product, and so on.
Procedure
- Start the deployment manager.
Use one of
these methods to start a deployment manager:
- Use the startManager command:
startManager
Use
the startManager Qshell script to start a deployment manager from
the Qshell command line of the IBM® i
server hosting the node.
For
more information, see the startManager command topic.
- Use the Submit Job (SBMJOB) CL command.
You
can run this CL command from an IBM i
command line:
SBMJOB CMD(CALL PGM(product_library/QWASSTRSVR) PARM('-profilePath'
'profile_root' '-server' 'deployment manager')) JOB(server)
JOBD(QWAS7/QWASJOBD) JOBQ(QWAS7/QWASJOBQ) USER(QEJBSVR) LANGID(*USRPRF)
CNTRYID(*USRPRF) CCSID(*USRPRF) OUTQ(QWAS7/QWASOUTQ) ALWMLTTHD(*YES)
where
- profile_root is the profile root of the deployment manager.
- deployment manager is the name of the deployment manager
server that you want to start.
- Stop the deployment manager.
Use one of these
methods to stop a deployment manager:
- Use the stopManager command:
stopManager
Use
the stopManager Qshell script to stop a deployment manager from the
Qshell command line of the IBM i
server hosting the node.
For
more information, see the stopManager command topic.
- Use the WebSphere Application Server, Network Deployment deployment manager administrative console.
To
stop the deployment manager from the administrative console:
- Click .
- On the Configuration tab of the deployment manager settings, click Stop.
- Use the End Job (ENDJOB) CL command.
To use
the ENDJOB CL command to end an application server, enter this command
on an IBM i command line:
ENDJOB JOB(jobNumber/QEJBSVR/jobName) OPTION(*CNTRLD) DELAY(delayTime)
where
jobNumber is the job number,
jobName is
the name of the application server job for the deployment manager,
and
delayTime is the amount of time to wait for the job to
end in seconds. Use a value of 600 seconds initially. To find out
what the appropriate delayTime is, see Shutting down the
WebSphere Application Server subsystem.
Results
You have started the deployment manager and have optionally
stopped it.
What to do next
After you start a deployment manager, run the startNode command
to start federated application server nodes of the deployment manager.
After the deployment manager and nodes are running, you can administer
servers and applications on the nodes.
After you stop a deployment
manager, run the stopNode command to stop federated
application server nodes if they are running. After you stop product
processes, the product is no longer running.
