Startup and Shutdown

By default, the IBMWAS61Service - donaldCellManager01 service is started automatically. TC recommends turning the service over to Manual and create command files to start and stop WebSphere. IMPORTANT: Always stop WebSphere gracefully before shutting down Windows.

IMPORTANT: After stopping the WebSphere processes, stop your database gracefully (see "Installing Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1) on Windows 2000/XP" for more information).
