Author Auto Start WAS Instance

2005-10-04, 5:58 pm

If I set my HTTP server to automatically start the associated WAS instance will the applications that are enabled also start?

I didn't think about this one before bringing my site live. Now I realize that at night I need to run a CL job to stop the HTTP server, move some new data files over and then start it back up. I want to make sure that by doing so my apps will start back u
p as well.

Thanks!!

The HTTP server that starts a WAS instance ?!?

Looks like there is a confusion in the terms or you need to tell me how do
you do this...

To me:
* WAS application = WebSphere Enterprise Application or more generally
WebSphere Application Server
* HTTP server = IBM HTTP Server, Apache or IIS.

WAS application and HTTP server are administered separately and have a
different life cycle. So, you can stop the one without stopping the other.

True, they are seperate entities, but an HTTP server instance can have an associated WAS instance. In the General Server Configuration for a HTTP instance you can tell it to start the associated WAS instance when the HTTP server instance is started, you c
an also set it to stop when the HTTP inst is stopped. What I don't know (and guess I will just have to set up a test server and try) is if this also starts and the applications that are enabled on that WAS instance.

If you set the initial state of your applications deployed in WAS as started
then whenever you start the appserver, all applications should start
automatically. Else you can write a script to do this manually.
