Stopping an application server
Stopping an application server ends a server process based on the process definition settings in the current application server configuration.

About this task
There are times you need to stop an application server. For example, you might have to apply service to an application running on that server, or you might want to change one of the application server's configuration setting. Use one of the following options when you need to stop an application server.
Avoid trouble: During the Application Server shutdown procecess, com.ibm.ejs.util.am._Alarm
might launch new threads that cause unnecessary exceptions from varied
components. For example, you might receive the following Connection
Pool Manager exception:
J2CA0020E: Connection Pool Manager could not allocate a Managed Connection:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Internal
Error: cannot find the PoolManager Reference.
These exceptions
might occur because an application server must shut down all of the
components under that application server’s control before the
stop process can complete. You can ignore these exceptions. After
the application server stops, all running threads from the application
server automatically end. Procedure
