Sun Cluster Data Service for WebLogic Server Guide for Solaris OS

STOP Method

The STOP method stops the BEA WebLogic Server that is configured in the resource. By default, the STOP method kills the BEA WebLogic Server by sending a SIGKILL to the BEA WebLogic process. If the smooth_shutdown extension property is set to TRUE, the STOP method tries to bring down the BEA WebLogic instance by running the following command:


java weblogic.Admin -url hostname:port -username $WLS_USER 
-password $WLS_PW SHUTDOWN

If this command fails, the BEA WebLogic Server is shut down by using SIGKILL. Even if the command succeeds, the STOP method sends SIGKILL to ensure that the BEA WebLogic process is stopped.

If the smooth_shutdown extension property is set to TRUE, ensure that the boot.properties file with valid user name and password is present in the DOMAIN directory. The BEA WebLogic Server variables, WLS_USER and WLS_PW do not need to be set in the START script for smooth shutdown. This waiver applies only to BEA WebLogic Server 8.1 or later versions.
