- Even though the status returned by the serverStatus command indicates STARTED, it might still not be available for use by InfoSphere Information Server until the InfoSphere Information Server applications are fully initialized. To verify that WebSphere Application Server has started, monitor the log files. See Checking the status of IBM WebSphere Application Server startup (clustered installation).
