How to start or stop an Enterprise application that is deployed into a cluster using wsadmin scripting tool

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21293401


Problem(Abstract)
It is not possible to start or stop the application from cluster scope directly when using the wsadmin scriping tool.
To start or stop the application running in a cluster, the user must run wsadmin scriping start or stop commands for all the cluster members separately.
Resolving the problem
Here is an example to start or stop an Enterprise application in a cluster setup using the wsadmin scripting tool:
Connect to Deployment Manager:
/profile_install_root/bin>wsadmin.sh/bat

Identify the application manager MBean for the server where the application resides, and assign it to the appManager variable.

wsadmin> set appManager [$AdminControl queryNames
cell=mycell,node=mynode,type=ApplicationManager,process=member1,*]

This command returns the application manager MBean (output):
Example:
WebSphere:name=ApplicationManager,process=member2,platform=dynamicproxy,node=vik
ram2Node08,version=6.1.0.13,type=ApplicationManager,mbeanIdentifier=ApplicationManager,cell=vikram2Cell02,spec=1.0

To start the application:
wsadmin> $AdminControl invoke $appManager startApplication AppName

To stop the application:
wsadmin> $AdminControl invoke $appManager stopApplication AppName

Repeat the above two steps for all cluster members in a cluster by specifying right nodename and member names.









Example: /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/Dmgr01/bin/wsadmin.sh -lang jacl
Example :   set appManager [$AdminControl queryNames cell=wastest852Cell01,node=wastest852Node01,type=ApplicationManager,process=malisrv01,*]
Example:

[wasadmin@wastest852 bin]$ ./wsadmin.sh -lang jacl
WASX7209I: Connected to process "dmgr" on node wastest852CellManager01 using SOAP connector;  The type of process is: DeploymentManager
WASX7029I: For help, enter: "$Help help"
wsadmin>set appManager [$AdminControl queryNames cell=wastest852Cell01,node=wastest852Node01,type=ApplicationManager,process=malisrv01,*]
WebSphere:name=ApplicationManager,process=malisrv01,platform=proxy,node=wastest852Node01,version=8.5.5.1,type=ApplicationManager,mbeanIdentifier=ApplicationManager,cell=wastest852Cell01,spec=1.0
wsadmin>$AdminControl invoke $appManager startApplication NYS
