Custom service collection

Use this page to view a list of services available to the appserver and to see whether the services are enabled. A custom service provides the ability to plug into a WebSphere application server and define code that runs when the server starts or shuts down.

If you are developing a custom service for an application server, click...

Servers > Application Servers > server > Custom Services

If you are developing a custom service for a node agent, click...

Startup
