The server lifecycle commands are commands that create, delete, or start, stop a domain, service (DAS), or an instance.
Table 19–2 Server Lifecycle Commands
Command |
Definition |
---|---|
create-domain |
Creates the configuration of a domain. A domain is an administrative namespace. Every domain has a configuration, which is stored in a set of files. Any number of domains, each of which has a distinct administrative identity, can be created in a given installation of the Application Server. A domain can exist independent of other domains. Any user who has access to the asadmin utility on a given system can create a domain and store its configuration in a folder of choice. By default, the domain configuration is created in the install_dir/domains directory. You can override this location to store the configuration elsewhere. |
delete-domain |
Deletes the named domain. The domain must already exist and must be stopped. |
start-domain |
Starts a domain. If the domain directory is not specified, the domain in the default install_dir/domains directory is started. If there are two or more domains, the domain_name operand must be specified. |
stop-domain |
Stops the Domain Administration Server of the specified domain. |
restore-domain |
Restores files under the domain from a backup directory. |
list-domains |
Lists the domain. If the domain directory is not specified, the domain in the default install_dir/domains directory is listed. If there is more than one domain, the domain_name operand must be specified. |
backup-domain |
Backs up files under the named domain. |
list-backups |
Displays the status information about all backups in the backup repository. |
shutdown |
Gracefully brings down the administration server and all the running instances. You must manually start the administration server to bring it up again. |
