Decision Roadmap

Prerequisites

-

Main Tools

Visual Administrator

Execution

Run the administrator of J2EE Engine, navigate to Deploy service and list all deployed applications.

Analysis

Application is not started

If the application is not started on all nodes, try to start it with right pane button Start Application. A dialog window appears to select nodes where to start application. Check all (if not checked) and press OK.

If the application does not start, check the error message and investigate the problem according to it.

If this is an application error you have to contact the application’s developer for more information.

If the error is from the J2EE Engine, try to find the appropriate PAS.

The application is stopped for maintenance or developer debugging

If the application is displayed as started in the deployed componentspanel, it may be stopped only for customers for debugging or maintenance.

You can check this by navigating to the Web Container service and checking that in the tab Properties the property ApplicationStoppedAliases contains the value of the application’s alias.

If an alias of the application exists here, this means that the application is stopped by a developer or an administrator.

Application is not deployed

If the application is not listed in the Deployed components panel, the application is not deployed. So the resulting Application stopped response is from the default application (with root alias /) which is not started. In this case you can check if there is a default application and it is stopped. You may try to redeploy the requested application.
