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).
