Overview

The Server—>Control—>Start/Stop tab changes the state of a server.

Some of the operations require the Node Manager and the domain-wide administration port. In addition, some operations cannot be used for an Administration Server.

Operations

The following table describes the applicability and requirements of each operation:

Operation

Description

Requirements/Restrictions

Start this server in standby mode

Starts a Managed Server but places it in the STANDBY state.

In this state, the server can accept administration commands and it can participate in cluster communication, but it is not accessible to requests from external clients.

The operation ignores the Startup Mode setting on the Servers—>Configuration—>General tab.

Requires the Node Manager.

Requires the administration port to be enabled.

Only available for Managed Servers.

Start this server

Starts a Managed Server.

The operation ignores the Startup Mode setting on the Servers—>Configuration—>General tab.

Requires the Node Manager.

Only available for Managed Servers.

Resume this server

Moves a server from the STANDBY state to RUNNING.

Requires the administration port to be enabled.

Shutdown this server

Gracefully stops a server. New requests are rejected but in-work requests are completed before the server stops.


Force shutdown of this server

Immediately stops a server. In-work requests are dropped, no new requests are accepted, and the server immediately stops.


Attributes

Table 1-10

Attribute Label

Description

Value Constraints

Ignore Sessions During Shutdown

Indicates whether a graceful shutdown operation drops all HTTP sessions immediately. If this attribute is set to false, a graceful shutdown operation waits for HTTP sessions to complete or timeout.

MBean: weblogic.management.
configuration.ServerMBean

Attribute: IgnoreSessionsDuringShutdown

Default: false

Valid values:

  • true

  • false

Configurable: yes

Dynamic: yes

Graceful Shutdown Timeout

Number of seconds a graceful shutdown operation waits before forcing a shut down. A graceful shutdown gives WebLogic Server subsystems time to complete certain application processing currently in progress. If subsystems are unable to complete processing within the number of seconds that this attribute specifies, then the server will force shutdown automatically.

A value of 0 means that the server will wait indefinitely for graceful shutdown to complete.

This attribute applies only to graceful shutdown operations, while the ServerLifeCycleTimeoutVal attribute applies only to force shutdowns.

MBean: weblogic.management.
configuration.ServerMBean

Attribute: GracefulShutdownTimeout

Units: seconds

Minimum: 0

Default: 0

Configurable: yes

Dynamic: yes

Status

Table 1-11

Table Column

Description

Name

The name of the current server instance.

State

The current lifecycle state of the server. For a description of lifecycle states, refer to Understanding Server State.
