You can start or stop an application server from the Windows Services panel by starting or stopping the following services:
Application | Windows service |
---|---|
WebSphere Commerce | IBM WebSphere Application Server V5 - WC_commerce_instance_name For example, if you have a WebSphere Commerce instance called demo, then the Windows service name is IBM WebSphere Application Server V5 - WC_demo. |
WebSphere Commerce Payments | IBM WebSphere Application Server V5 -wpm_payments_instance_name For example, if you have a WebSphere Commerce Payments instance called wpm, then the Windows services name is IBM WebSphere Application Server V5 - wpm_Commerce_Payments_Server. |
Important:
- The status on the Services panel can be misleading - the Services panel may indicate "Started" when the application server has not started completely. The only accurate way to confirm that an application server has started or stopped is to check the application server log files.
- If you start an application server from the Services panel, you can stop that application server from the Services panel or a command prompt.
