Starting and terminating generic application servers
This topic describes how to start and terminate generic servers.
About this task
For the WebSphere® Application Server (base) product, you
cannot use the administrative console to create a generic application
server definition or use the administrative console to start, stop
or, in any way, control or manage that application server. The Base
product administrative console can only be used to create server definitions
and, if necessary, adjust the server definitions that it creates.
To manage Base generic application servers, you need to use the command
prompt environment, such as startServer <genericServerName>
or stopServer <genericServerName>
or serverStatus <genericServerName>
.
The wsadmin tool has no functional role in the Base application server
environment.
