Before you begin

Ensure the This topic applies only to the z/OS platform wsadmin.shwsadmin client can connect to the deployment manager for the deployment environment.

About this task

To start the deployment environment with the This topic applies only to the z/OS platform wsadmin.shwsadmin command, perform the following steps.

Procedure

Open a command window.
At the command prompt, enter the wsadmin.shwsadmin command to enter the command environment. The wsadmin.shwsadmin command is located in either the <WPS>/profiles/<dmgr profile>/bin directory or the <WPS>/bin directory.
Enter the startDeploymentEnv command to start the deployment environment.
Note: If you are using a SOAP connection, this command can take longer to complete than the specified SOAP timeout value.

Note: If you are running the This topic applies only to the z/OS platform

wsadmin.sh This topic applies only to the Distributed platforms

wsadmin client from the deployment manager bin folder, you do not need to include the -host and -port parameters in the command.

wsadmin.sh -connType SOAP -host myDmgr -port 8879 -user dmgradmin -password dmgrpass
> $AdminTask startDeploymentEnv {-topologyName myDepEnv}

wsadmin -connType SOAP -host myDmgr -port 8879 -user dmgradmin -password dmgrpass
> $AdminTask startDeploymentEnv {-topologyName myDepEnv}

The -connType parameter specifies the type of connection to be used; the default argument is SOAP. If you are using a SOAP connection, including this parameter is optional.

The -host parameter specifies the host used for the SOAP or RMI connection. The default value for -host is the local host. If the node is running on the local host, you don not need to include this parameter.

If you disable administrative security, you do not need to provide a user ID and password.
