You can use scripting and the wsadmin tool to start servers.
Procedure
Use the startServer command to start the server.
This command has several syntax options. For example: - To start a server on a WebSphere® Application Server
single server edition, choose one of the following options:
- The following examples specify the server name only:
Using Jacl:
$AdminControl startServer serverName
Using
Jython:
AdminControl.startServer('serverName')
- The following example starts an application server with the node
specified:
Using Jacl:
$AdminControl startServer server1 mynode
Using Jython:
print AdminControl.startServer('server1', 'mynode')
Example output:
WASX7319I: The serverStartupSyncEnabled attribute is set to false. A start
will be attempted for server "server1" but the configuration information for
node "mynode" may not be current.
WASX7262I: Start completed for server "server1" on node "mynode"
- The following example specify the server name and wait time:
Using Jacl:
$AdminControl startServer serverName 10
Using Jython:
AdminControl.startServer('serverName', 10)
where 10 is the maximum number of seconds waiting for
the server to start.
- To start a server on a WebSphere Application Server
network deployment edition, choose one of the following options:
- The following example specifies the server name and the node name:
Using Jacl:
$AdminControl startServer serverName nodeName
Using Jython:
AdminControl.startServer('serverName', 'nodeName')
- The following example specifies the server name, the node name,
and the wait time:
Using Jacl:
$AdminControl startServer serverName nodeName 10
Using Jython:
AdminControl.startServer('serverName', 'nodeName', 10)
where 10 is the number of seconds that the process should
wait before starting the server.
