You can use wsadmin to start and stop applications in your application server.

Start applications with wsadmin

To start an application with wsadmin, follow these steps:

    On the CL command line, run the STRQSH (Start Qshell) command.

    Run the cd command to change to the directory that contains the wsadmin tool: 

    cd /QIBM/ProdData/WebASE51/ASE/bin

    Start wsadmin.

    At the wsadmin prompt, run this command to identify the application manager MBean for the server where the application resides and assign it the appManager variable: 

    set appManager [$AdminControl queryNames type=ApplicationManager,*]

    This command returns the application manager MBean.

    Run this command to start the application: 

    $AdminControl invoke $appManager startApplication myApp

    where myApp is the name of the application that you want to start.

        This command returns a list of application MBeans.

        Run this command to stop all of the running applications: 

        foreach app $apps {set appName [$AdminControl getAttribute $app name];
 $AdminControl invoke $appManager stopApplication $appName}
