Stopping and starting process templates using the administrative console

You can use the administrative console to start and stop BPEL process templates individually.

Before you begin this procedure, the following conditions must be met:

• If WebSphere administrative security is enabled, verify that your user ID has operator authority.

• The application server, on which the process templates are to be stopped or started, must be running. That is, the -conntype none option of wsadmin cannot be used, because a server connection is required.

The following steps describe how to use the administrative console to stop and start process templates.

Procedure

1. Select the module that you want to manage.

   In the navigation pane of the administrative console, click Applications > SCA modules > module_name .

2. In the Configuration page for the SCA module under Additional Properties, click Business processes, and then a process template.

   • To stop the process template, click Stop.

     Existing instances of the process templates continue to run until they end normally, but you cannot create new instances from the stopped template.

     If the process is a subprocess, the creation of new instances depends on whether the subprocess is a peer or a child of the calling process.

     If the process template is part of a process application, the business process definition (BPD) cannot start new instances of the BPEL process, and therefore it cannot run to completion.

   • To start the process template, click Start.
