You can stop the server from the
Servers view.
Before you begin
- For WebSphere® Application
Server, wait for the server to start completely before stopping the
server.Restriction: When you try to stop a WebSphere Application Server while the server is starting, the server will continue to start and ignore the stop request. The status of the server in the Servers view, might change from Starting to Stopped. But when the server finishes starting, the status of the server changes back to Started. You need to wait for the server to start completely before stopping the server.
- For remote WebSphere Application Server, you can stop the remote server from this workbench.
However, starting a remote WebSphere Application Server using the workbench is supported
only on Linux and Windows operating systems. For all the other
supported operating systems running WebSphere Application Server, you must
manually start the server on the remote computer when the server is
stopped. For more details on how to start the WebSphere Application Server remotely on Linux or Windows, see the Starting a remote WebSphere Application Server topic.
If the remote WebSphere Application Server needs restarting, you can right-click the server from the Servers view and select Restart.
If the remote WebSphere Application Server is shared by multiple users, then stopping the remote server will stop the shared server which makes it unavailable for other users to use.
