Re: Stopping/Starting a Web Application in batch

I am at RPGWorld right now and am right next to Softlanding's booth and had
them show me how one could automate what you are trying to accomplish.

STRQSH CMD('/QIBM/ProdData/WebASE51/ASE/bin/stopServer -instance
INSTANCENAME SERVERNAME') 

Basically you can setup, within Turnover, the shell script command to run as
a pre-run command. Next, the items/objects on the "form" will run which
essentially installs the change. Lastly you would execute a post-run command
that would restart the WAS instance.  

BTW, I got my first demo of their product yesterday and am quite impressed
with what they are accomplishing within the Eclipse space (i.e. implementing
an intuitive GUI interface for RPG/Java change management). That along with
their developer focused dedication to community (i.e. WDSC RSE plugins,
subversion port to iSeries) put them high in my book.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Stopping/Starting a Web Application in batch

Does anyone out there use a change management system to promote changes to
your web application?  I'm looking for some help in this area.  In my shop
we are using Softlanding's Turnover to monitor for changes to our Webfaced
applications.  The process for promoting the changes into production is
quite simple except for one problem.  I need to find a way to stop and then
restart the wefaced application that is running on WAS 6.0 in order for my
changes to take effect.  The process needs to be able to run in batch so I
can re-publish my changes using Turnover.  Does anyone out there have any
sample CL or QShell script that they would be willing to share that would
help me accomplish this?  The process need to be able to run in batch in
order for this to work.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Michael Soucy
