/management/wls/{version}/deployments/application/id/{application-name}/start

This resource starts an application.

The resource supports the following methods:

POST Method

The POST method starts the application identified by the resource URL.

Roles

Administrator, Deployer

Request Query Parameters

This resource launches a job to start the application.

_detached

(Optional) Specifies whether this method runs in detached (background) mode or synchronously.

If the __detached=true query parameter is specified (detached invocation), then this method returns immediately after launching the job. Otherwise, it waits for the job to complete, fail, or timeout (synchronous invocation).

Response Body

If the method was invoked synchronously and successfully launched the job, the response body includes a DeploymentJob entity containing the state of the job (completed, failed, or still running in the case of a timeout) as well as a link to the job resource.

This method can return the following links:

  • uri=/wls/jobs/deployment/{job-id} rel=job title=id

Response Codes

If the method was invoked synchronously and the job successfully completed, the method returns a 200 OK status code. If the job timed out, the method returns a 202 Accepted status code.

If the method was invoked detached and successfully launched the job, the method returns a 202 Accepted status code and a link to the job resource. In this case, the response does not include a DeploymentJob entity.
