Start and stopping the deployment manager

The deployment manager is an administration application that runs in a special application server, which is created when you install WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment or when you create a new profile using the deployment manager profile template. With the deployment manager, you can administer multiple WebSphere Application Server nodes. This topic describes how you start and stop the application server for the deployment manager. Before you can start or stop the deployment manager, first install WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment.

Overview

Start the deployment manager so that you can manage all the elements of the WebSphere Application Serve cell. Stop the deployment manager as needed, such as when migrating to a new version of WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, when uninstalling the product, and so on.

Procedure

Start the deployment manager. Use one of these methods to start the application server for a deployment manager:
- Use the startManager Qshell script .
  For information about how to start a deployment manager application server with the startManager script, see the startManager command topic.
- Use the startServer Qshell script.
  For information about how to start an application server with the startServer script, see the startServer command topic.
- Use the Submit Job (SBMJOB) CL command.You can run this CL command from an i5/OS command line:
```
SBMJOB CMD(CALL PGM(product_library/QWASSTRSVR) PARM('-profilePath'
  'profile_root' '-server' 'deployment manager')) JOB(server)
  JOBD(QWAS61/QWASJOBD) JOBQ(QWAS61/QWASJOBQ) USER(QEJBSVR) LANGID(*USRPRF)
  CNTRYID(*USRPRF) CCSID(*USRPRF) OUTQ(QWAS61/QWASOUTQ) ALWMLTTHD(*YES)
```
  where
  - profile_root is the profile root of the deployment manager.
  - deployment manager is the name of the deployment manager server that you want to start.
Stop the deployment manager. Use one of these methods to stop the application server for a deployment manager:
- Use the stopManager Qshell script.
  For information about how to stop the deployment manager with the stopManager script, see the stopManager command topic.
- Use the stopServer Qshell script.
  For information about how to stop the deployment manager with the stopServer script, see the stopServer command topic.
- Use the End Job (ENDJOB) CL command.To use the ENDJOB CL command to end an application server, enter this command on an i5/OS command line:
```
ENDJOB JOB(jobNumber/QEJBSVR/jobName) OPTION(*CNTRLD) DELAY(delayTime)
```
  where jobNumber is the job number, jobName is the name of the application server job for the deployment manager, and delayTime is the amount of time to wait for the job to end in seconds. Use a value of 600 seconds initially. To find out what the appropriate delayTime is, see Shutting down the WebSphere Application Server subsystem.
- Use the Network Deployment deployment manager administrative console.To stop the deployment manager from the administrative console:
  1. Start the administrative console. For more information, see Starting the administrative console for the deployment manager.
  2. Expand System Administration and click Deployment Manager.
  3. Click Stop on the Configuration sheet.
