explanation

Abstract
On Windows® platforms, the administrative service can
start successfully, and then terminate unexpectedly with no
explanation.
Download Description
PQ67353 resolves the following problem:
On Windows platforms, when the administrative server is launched, the
administrative service waits 480 seconds for notification that the
administrative server and any associated application servers are fully
ready.
In some cases, if the application servers take a long time to start, the
administrative service could timeout and exit without explanation. The
administrative server and any application servers would be left running
and function properly. However, if the administrative server should ever
terminate, there would be no administrative service running to restart it.
This APAR corrects that problem by setting the default timeout for this
period to be INFINITE. It also introduces two additional properties that
you can add to admin.config to modify some of the administrative service
behavior. For additional information on these properties, see below.
This PMR exposes two new properties that can be added to admin.config in
order to modify the behavior of the administrative service for WebSphere®
Application Server on Windows platforms.
These properties are:
1. com.ibm.ejs.sm.adminService.verboseLogging
If this property is set to a non-zero value as in:
com.ibm.ejs.sm.adminService.verboseLogging=1
then the admin service will produce additional entries in the Windows
Application Event Log.
2. com.ibm.ejs.sm.adminServce.waitForTimeOut
This property sets the number of seconds that the administrative service
will wait for the administrative server to notify it that the
administrative server and all application servers that it started have
completed startup.
The default value for this property is 0 which means that the
administrative service will not timeout waiting for notification from the
administrative server.
Under normal circumstances, you should not need to change this property
from the default value.
