Deploying Applications and Modules

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.

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

Operation	Description	Requirements/Restrictions
Start all Managed Servers in standby mode	Starts all Managed Servers that have been configured for the Node Manager. For each server that has not been configured for the Node Manager, the operation generates an exception. After starting the servers, it places them in the STANDBY state. In this state, servers can accept administration commands and participate in cluster communication, but they are 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 all Managed Servers	Starts all Managed Servers that have been configured for the Node Manager. For each server that has not been configured for the Node Manager, the operation generates an exception. The operation ignores the Startup Mode setting on the Servers—>Configuration—>General tab.	Requires the Node Manager. Only available for Managed Servers.
Resume all servers	Moves all servers from the STANDBY state to RUNNING.	Requires the administration port to be enabled.
Shutdown all servers	Gracefully stops all servers in the domain, including the Administration Server. New requests are rejected but in-work requests are completed before the server stops.
Force shutdown of all servers	Immediately stops all servers in the domain, including the Administration Server. In-work requests are dropped, no new requests are accepted, and the server immediately stops.
