Managing application servers

You can use the administrative console or command line tools to manage your application servers.

Why and when to perform this task

You can use either the administrative console or command line tools to manage your application servers.

Important: If you are migrating from a previous version of WebSphere Application Server, you can upgrade a portion of the nodes in a cell, while leaving others at the older release level. This means that, for a period of time, you might be managing servers that are running at different release levels in the same cell. In this mixed environment, there are some restrictions on what you can do with servers that are running the older release level. There are no restrictions on what you can do with the servers that are running on the newer release level. For details, see Creating application servers and Creating clusters.

To use the administrative console to view and manage an application server:

Steps for this task

  1. In the administrative console click Servers > Application servers.
  2. Click on the name of an application server. The Application servers page lists the application servers and the cell and the nodes holding these application servers. it also shows the status of each application server. The status indicates whether a server is started, stopped, or unavailable.

    To view additional information about a particular application server or to further configure an application server, click on the name of that application server under Name. This accesses the settings page for this application server.

  3. Start an application server.
  4. Monitor the running application servers.
  5. Stop an application server.
  6. Delete an application server.
    Tip: If the server you are deleting has applications or modules mapped to it, remap the modules to another server, or create a new server and remap the modules to the new server, before deleting the old server. After a server to which modules are mapped is deleted, the modules cannot be remapped to another server. Therefore, if you do not remap the modules to another server before deleting the old one, you must uninstall all of the modules that were mapped to the old server, and then reinstall them on a different server.
    1. In the administrative console, click Servers > Application servers to access the Application Servers page.
    2. Select an application server to delete.
    3. Click Delete.
    4. Click OK to confirm the deletion.

Result

The application servers are properly configured are the appropriate application servers are running.

What to do next

Create additional application server as required.
