The websphere application server used with Datastage 8.1 has automatically gone into the below mentioned status:
The Application Server "server1" is STOPPING

We are not able to stop or start it. Please suggest the best way to stop-start it now. Secondly can anyone suggest why it went to this status automatically.

Thanks

You'll need to check SystemErr.log and SystemOut.log, which are typically located in /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/default/logs/server1 (or .../profiles/InfoSphere/logs/server1) on the Services tier system. If you took a "non-standard" deployment, just use "find" to locate them under your WebSphere directory.

Those two logs should contain the actual problem, though it may be difficult to isolate as there's always a lot of information in them.

Finally we re-booted the server and the issue was resolved.
