Stopping a server
You can stop the server from the Servers view.
Before you begin
- For WebSphere® Application
Server, wait for the server to start completely before you stop the
server.Restriction: When you try to stop a WebSphere Application Server while the server is starting, the server continues to start and ignore the stop request. The status of the server in the Servers view, might change from Starting to Stopped. But when the server finishes starting, the status of the server changes back to Started. You must wait for the server to start completely before you stop the server.
- For remote WebSphere Application
Server, you can stop the remote server from this workbench. However,
starting a remote WebSphere Application
Server by using the workbench is supported only on Linux and Windows operating
systems. For all the other supported operating systems that run WebSphere Application Server,
you must manually start the server on the remote computer when the
server is stopped. For more details on how to start the WebSphere Application Server remotely on Linux or Windows, see the Starting
a remote WebSphere Application
Server topic.
If the remote WebSphere Application Server needs restarting, you can right-click the server from the Servers view and select Restart.
If the remote WebSphere Application Server is shared by multiple users, then stopping the remote server stops the shared server, which makes it unavailable for other users to use.
Important: Applicable to WebSphere
Application Server traditional
