Starting business-level applications
You can start a business-level application that is not running (has a status of Stopped). The application must contain code that can run on a server to start.
Before you begin
The application must be installed on a server. By default, the application starts automatically when the server starts.
About this task
You can start and stop business-level applications manually using the administrative console or wsadmin commands.
This topic describes how to use the administrative console to start a business-level application.
Procedure
Results
A message stating that the application started is displayed.
If the business-level application does not start, ensure that the deployment target to which the application maps is running and try starting the application again.
If an application server on which the application is deployed
synchronizes configuration with the deployment manager during server startup, then the application
might not start and a DeploymentDescriptorLoadException error might be written to the server
SystemErr.log file. Stop and restart the server, and then try starting the
application again.
In multiple-node environments, synchronize the nodes after you save changes to the target before starting the business-level application.
What to do next
To restart a running application, select the application you want to restart, click Stop and then click Start.
