Starting and stopping an application server from a Windows command prompt

To start or stop an application server from a Windows command prompt:

  1. Log on using Windows user ID with Administrator authority.
  2. Start a command prompt session.
  3. In the command prompt session:
    1. Switch directories to WAS_installdir\bin
    2. Issue one of the following commands, depending on what you want to do:
      To start an application server:
      startServerserver_name
      To stop an application server:
      stopServerserver_name

    where:

    WAS_installdir
    is the installation directory for WebSphere Application Server.
    server_name
    is the name of the application you want to start. This parameter is case-sensitive - ensure that you have the correct case in the spelling of the application server name.

    The names of application servers are as follows:

    Application Application server name
    WebSphere Commerce WC_commerce_instance_name

    For example, if you have a WebSphere Commerce instance called demo, then the WebSphere Commerce application server name is WC_demo.

    WebSphere Commerce Payments payments_instance_name_Commerce_Payments_Server

    For example, if you have a WebSphere Commerce Payments instance called wpm, then the WebSphere Commerce Payments application server name is wpm_Commerce_Payments_Server.

    The application server started successfully when the Server server_name open for e-business message displays.

    The application server stopped successfully when the Server server_name stop completed message displays.

  4. Check the application server log files to ensure that the application server and the applications running inside the application server started or stopped without error.
