Stop applications using the job manager

In a flexible management environment, you can submit the Stop application job to stop enterprise applications that are deployed and running on managed targets of the job manager.

The application to stop must be running on managed target of the job manager.

Start the job manager if it is not already running. If a target is a stand-alone application server, also start the admin agent.

You can use the administrative console of the job manager or the dmgr to submit a job that stops the running of a deployed application. From the console, choose the Stop application job, specify the application to stop, specify job options, review the summary, and submit the job.

Stop the application changes the application status to stopped. The application can no longer receive client requests.

Instead of using a console, you can run the stopApplication job script in the AdministrativeJobs command group. See the Administrative job types topic.
