Administration of the SAP Web Application Server 

Use

You can manage the SAP J2EE application server from the SAP Web Application Server, that is, you can start and stop it in different ways. You can find the functions in the ICM monitor (Transaction SMICM or by choosing Administration ® System Management ® Monitor ® System Monitoring ® Internet Communication Manager).

Integration

You can use the SAP J2EE application server with the SAP Web Application Server. The Java connector JCo enables the two servers to be closely connected with each other.

Prerequisites

You are using the SAP Web Application Server with the integrated SAP J2EE Application Server.

So that the dispatcher can start the SAP J2EE Application Server, you must set parameter rdisp/j2ee_start to 1. You can make this setting dynamically in Transaction RZ11.

Functions

On the initial screen of the ICM monitor (Transaction SMICM), choose Administration ® J2EE Server.

The following functions are available:

Sending a Soft Shutdown (With or Without a Restart)

The SAP Web Application Server’s dispatcher sets the restart flag for the J2EE server and sends the SOFTSHUTDOWN message to the J2EE server. The dispatcher does not actively close the connection, the J2EE server must close itself instead. If the application server is restarted, the SAP J2EE Application Server is restarted by the dispatcher.

Sending a Hard Shutdown (With or Without a Restart)

The SAP Web Application Server’s dispatcher sets the restart flag for the J2EE server and sends the HARDSHUTDOWN message to the J2EE server. The dispatcher does not actively close the connection, the J2EE server must close itself instead. If the application server is restarted, the SAP J2EE Application Server is restarted by the dispatcher.

Ending the Process (With or Without a Restart)

The SAP Web Application Server’s dispatcher sets the restart flag for the J2EE server and sends a signal to the process (shell or Java process). If the application server is restarted, the SAP J2EE Application Server is restarted by the dispatcher.

Restart Yes/No

This sets the SAP J2EE Application Server’s restart flag.
