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.
