Stop a business-level application using programming

We can stop a business-level application, which stops each composition unit in that business-level application. Each composition unit is stopped on the respective targets on which the business-level application is deployed.

Before you can stop a business-level application, have created an empty business-level application, imported an asset, added a composition unit to the business-level application, and started the business-level application.

We can stop a business-level application using programming, the administrative console, or wsadmin.sh. This topic describes how to stop a business-level application using programming.

Perform the following steps to stop a business-level application using programming.


Procedure

  1. Connect to the application server.

    The command framework allows the administrative command to be created and run with or without being connected to the application server. This step is optional if the application server is not running.

  2. Create the command manager.

    The command manager provides the functionality to create a new administrative command or query existing administrative commands.

  3. Optionally create the asynchronous command handler for listening to command notifications.

    Business-level application commands are implemented as asynchronous commands.

    To monitor the progress of the running command, we have to create an asynchronous command handler to receive notifications that the command generates.

  4. Create the asynchronous command client.

    An asynchronous command client provides a higher level interface to work with an asynchronous command. If you created an asynchronous command handler in the previous step, the handler is passed to the asynchronous command client. The asynchronous command client forwards the command notification to the handler and helps to control running of the command.

  5. Use the command manager that you created in a previous step Create and set up the command that stops a business-level application.

    The command name is stopBLA. The blaID parameter is a required parameter to specify the business-level application to stop.

  6. Call the processCommandParameters method in the asynchronous command client to process the command parameters.

    The command framework asynchronous command model requires this call.

  7. Call the asynchronous command client to run the command that stops a business-level application.

    You might have created an asynchronous command handler to implement the AsyncCommandHandlerIF interface class in a previous step. If you did, the asynchronous command client listens to command notifications and forwards the notifications to the handler. The handler performs any necessary actions while waiting for the command to complete.

  8. Check the command result when the command completes.

    When the command finishes running, control is returned to the caller. You can then check the result by calling the command.getCommandResult method.


Results

After you successfully run the code, the business-level application is stopped.

The following example shows how to stop a business-level application based on the previous steps. Some statements are split on multiple lines for printing purposes.
