How can we shutdown “nicely” the TN Server? I’m using the kill command but i guest there is another way to do it!

You can use IS administration web pages to nicely shutdown the IS. Also some times while any service is still running, if you kill the server, that service gets corrupted. So there is an option in Admin pages called “After all client sessions end…”.

is there other way tant the GUI?
on the unix prompt?

we use a unix shell script that call a java class
file that has been compiled with .java that looks something like this. You can webMethods support for complete source java code.

Context context = new Context();
String server = null;

            try
{
if (! parseParams(args, params) )
{
System.out.println("Failed to parse arguments");
System.out.println(usage);
}
server = params.get("host") + ":" + params.get("port");
username = (String) params.get("username");
password = (String) params.get("password");
if (password == null)
{
System.out.println("Password is null.");
System.out.println(usage);
System.exit(1);
}
context.connect(server, username, password);
}
catch (IndexOutOfBoundsException o)
{
System.out.println("Please make sure argument values are provided.");
System.out.println(usage);
System.exit(1);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
System.out.println("Fail to connect to " + server + " as " + username + ".");
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
System.exit(1);
}

try
{
Values v = new Values();
v.put("option", "force");

context.invoke("wm.server.admin", "shutdown", v);
context.disconnect();
}

I’ve posted a Java service for a soft shutdown of the B2B server. See :
