Starting and terminating generic application servers

This topic describes how to start and terminate generic servers.

About this task

[AIX Solaris HP-UX Linux Windows][z/OS] For the WebSphere® Application Server (base) product, you cannot use the administrative console to create a generic application server definition or use the administrative console to start, stop or, in any way, control or manage that application server. The Base product administrative console can only be used to create server definitions and, if necessary, adjust the server definitions that it creates. To manage Base generic application servers, you need to use the command prompt environment, such as startServer <genericServerName> or stopServer <genericServerName> or serverStatus <genericServerName>. The wsadmin tool has no functional role in the Base application server environment.

If you create a generic server in a WebSphere Application Server, Network Deployment environment, you can use the administrative console to start and terminate this server.

Procedure
