Disabling automatic starting of applications

By default, an installed application starts automatically when the server on which the application resides starts. You can disable the automatic starting of the application, and later enable the automatic starting again.

Before you begin

This topic assumes that the application is installed on an application server and that the application starts automatically when the server starts.

This topic also assumes that you mapped the installed application to a server or cluster.

Why and when to perform this task

You might want an application to run only after you start it manually and not to run every time after the server starts. The target mapping for an application controls whether an application starts automatically when the server starts or requires you to start the application manually.

Steps for this task

  1. Go to the Target Mapping settings page for your application.

    Click Applications > Enterprise Applications > application_name > Target Mappings > target_name. The target_name is the server on which the application resides.

  2. Clear the Enabled check box.
  3. Click OK.
  4. Save changes to the administrative configuration.

Result

The application does not start when its server starts. You must start the application manually.

What to do next

To enable automatic starting of the application, do the following:
  1. On the Target Mapping settings page for the application, select the Enabled check box.
  2. Click OK
  3. Save changes to the configuration.
