Determining the Name and Status of the WebSphere Application Server

To determine the name and status of any or all WebSphere Application servers:

  1. Start a command prompt.

  2. Navigate to the <websphere_install_dir>\AppServer\profiles\profile_name\binWebSphere/AppServer/profiles/profile_name/bin directory. For example:

    cd Z:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv01\bin

    cd /u01/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/bin

  3. Issue the command serverStatus followed by the Application Server name (or with the all option to view the status of all the servers in the profile). For example, to view the status of all Application Servers:

    Z:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv01\bin > serverStatus -all

    Note: If administrative security has been enabled for the WebSphere Application Server profile, you must use the following command to check the status of the servers:Z:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv01\bin > serverStatus all user <admin_user_name> -password <admin_user_password>

    ./serverStatus.sh -all
