Disabling automatic starting of applications

You can enable and disable the automatic starting of an application. By default, an installed application starts automatically when the server on which the application resides starts.

Before you begin

This topic assumes that the application is installed on an application server and that the application starts automatically when the server starts.

This topic also assumes that you mapped the installed application to a server and that you have an administrative role with an authority higher than monitor.

About this task

You might want an application to run only after you start it manually and not to run every time after the server starts. The target mapping for an application controls whether an application starts automatically when the server starts or requires you to start the application manually.

You must have an administrative role with an authority higher than monitor to change the automatic starting setting.

Procedure

  1. Go to the Target specific application status page for your application.

    Click Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applications > application_name > Target specific application status.

  2. Select the target server on which the application resides.
  3. Click Disable Auto Start.
  4. Save changes to the administrative configuration.

Results

The application does not start when its server starts. You must start the application manually.

What to do next

To enable automatic starting of the application, do the following:

  1. On the Target specific application status page for the application, select the target on which the application resides.
  2. Click Enable Auto Start.
  3. Save changes to the configuration.
