action

Specifies one option from among start, stop, abort, status, long_status, show_config, and list options.

• The start option is used to start the services that are specified by the --svc_name option.
• The stop option is used to stop the services that are specified by the --svc_name option.
• The abort option is used to abort (kill) the services that are specified by the --svc_name option.
• The status option is used to get status (PID) of the service specified by the --svc_name option.
• The long_status is used to get the extended (HTML) status of the service specified by the --svc_name option.
• The show_config option is used to show the configuration of the service that is specified by the --svc_name option.
• The list option is used to print a list of the full names of all defined services.

svc_name

This parameter is the short name of a service, for example "admin, workflowengine, queuemanager, appsvr, or scheduler". If svc_name=all then the action is applied to all services.

Note: The svc_control.sh script fails if the input for svc_name is the full name of the service.

wsadminUsername

This parameter is the WebSphere Application Server administrative user name. This is required if admin_security=true is specified, but the user name and password are not provided in the env_settings.ini file. You can specify the wsadminUsername and wsadminPwd arguments in the command to override the values that are provided in the env_settings.ini file. This argument is applicable only if svc_name is of type appsvr and action is start, stop, abort, or status.

wsadminPwd

This parameter is the password of the WebSphere Application Server administrative user. This is required if admin_security=true is specified, but the user name and password are not provided in the env_settings.ini file. You can specify the wsadminUsername and wsadminPwd arguments in the command to override the values that are provided in the env_settings.ini file. This argument is applicable only if svc_name is of type appsvr and action is start, stop, abort, or status.

names

The value needs to be a comma-separated list of short service names. This option can be specified only if svc_name is 'appsvr' or 'scheduler'. This option allows specific services by name to be acted on.

profile

Enables profiling for the services.

rmlogs

Specify this option to request help information.
