Stopping IBM WebSphere Application Server (Windows)
Follow this procedure to shut down WebSphere® Application Server services in a Microsoft Windows installation.
Procedure
Do either of the following tasks, depending on whether
you have a stand-alone or clustered configuration:
- Stopping a WebSphere Application Server Liberty Profile installation:
- On the computer that hosts the services tier, log in as a user with local administrator privileges.
- At a Windows command
prompt, enter:
net stop InfoSvr
.
- Stopping a stand-alone WebSphere Application Server configuration:
- On the computer that hosts the services tier, log in as a user that has local administrator privileges.
- On the Windows desktop, click InfoSphere® Information Server is installed. . InfoSphere is the profile name where
- When prompted, enter a user name and password for an account that has WebSphere Application Server administrator privileges.
- Verify that WebSphere Application Server processes have stopped. See Checking the status of IBM WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment (stand-alone installation).
- Stopping a clustered WebSphere Application Server configuration:
- Start the WebSphere Application Server administrative console.
- In the console navigation tree, click Note: Depending on the WebSphere Application Server version, you might have to click to access the Server Cluster page.
. The Server Cluster
page appears.
- Select the cluster.
- Click Stop. This command allows each application server to finish existing requests and allows failover to another member of the cluster. When the stop operation begins, the cluster status changes to partially stopped. After all application servers stop, the cluster status becomes Stopped.
- On each node, log in as a user with local administrator privileges.
- On the node, run the stopNode command to stop
the node agent:
In the command, Custom01 is the WebSphere Application Server custom profile that hosts a node of theIBM® InfoSphere Information Server cluster. wasadmin and password are the WebSphere Application Server administrator user name and password.C:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\Custom01\bin\stopNode -user wasadmin -password password
Control returns to the command line after the node agent shuts down.
Note: If the node agent runs as a Windows service, the stopNode command stops the associated Windows service and the node agent. - Verify that all cluster members and node agents are stopped. See Checking the status of IBM WebSphere Application Server cluster members and Checking the status of IBM WebSphere Application Server node agents.
- Stop the Network Deployment manager process. See Stopping the IBM WebSphere Application Server Deployment Manager (Windows).
