I can’t figure out how to disable auto-restart of a single application that’s set up in web sphere cluster, instead of disabling all the apps set up within that particular cluster. Does anyone know how this could be accomplished? Thanks.

Hi Irene,

If you deploy an application to a cluster then there is only one set of actions associated with that application regardless of how many Application Servers are in the cluster. 

Consider the following scenario. If you deployed an application across a cluster that had 10 members and you wanted to then stop that Application then if it was controlled from the AppServer end you would have to make the change 10 times affectively defeating the purpose of centralised management.

That said however I am not sure I understand why you are trying to perform this action (what conditions). You mentioned 'disable auto-restart' ... this is something that you can do at the AppServer level (Node Restart State) but only way to understand if this meets your requirement. If not can you post more detail on the scenario.

Hope this helps.

There is a "Auto Start" option that you can set to specify whether the application modules installed on the target server are started (or enabled) when the server starts.

Is this what you are looking for?
