In a flexible
management environment, you can submit the Start
application job to start enterprise applications that
are deployed on managed targets of the job manager.
Before you begin
Start the job
manager and the targets. If a target is a
stand-alone application server, also start the administrative agent.
The
application that you want to start must be installed on a managed
target and not be running.
About this task
You can use the
administrative console of the job manager
or the deployment manager to submit a job that starts the running
of a deployed application file. From the console, choose the Start
application job, specify the file to start, specify job
options, review the summary, and submit the job.
Starting the
application changes the application status to active, loads the application
in the run time, and opens the application to receive client requests.
Instead
of using a console, you can run the startApplication job script in
the AdministrativeJobs command group. See the Administrative job types
topic.

of the administrative console.
