MyEclipse: Connection to WAS 8 Server

Hello,

I installed MyEclipse 10.1 and WAS 8 on Windows 7.

If i try to start WAS 8 from MyEclipse i get the Message:

ADMU0116I: Tool information is being logged in file
***\WebSphere8_0_0_2\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv02\logs\server1\startServer.log
ADMU0128I: Starting tool with the AppSrv02 profile

The process_spawner.exe File is in the %PATH% variable and i can start WebSphere8_0_0_2\AppServer/java/bin/java from command box.

How can start WAS from MyEclipse?

Thanks

Maxim.Gorelik,

I could replicate this issue on MyEclipse Blue 10.1. I did the following -
1. To verify if the java application is executable, I ran it manually. (Open ~WebSphere8_0_0_2\AppServer\java\bin and run the java application manually).
2. Next stop WAS 8 and Start again. This fixed it.

Could you try the same and let me know how this works for you?

Hello Joy,

it does't worked in my development envirement. Do you run WAS 8 as a service?

Is it possible to download an older, worked version of myeclipse?

thanks

Maxim,

What version of WebSphere 8 do you have, exactly. Could you make sure you have the latest version?

Also, could you try running MyEclipse Blue as an administrator (right click > run as administrator) and see if that resolves the problem?

Just want to find out if this has been resolved coz I'm getting the same error. I can start WAS 8 outside of MyEclipse and I could see the console in MyEclipse updates as the server start but just wanted to find out why this behaviour. It's a little inconvenient to run a bat file just to start/stop the server.
Thanks.

jsj128,

Sorry that you are seeing this issue.

Can you please clarify if you have tried running MyEclipse Blue as administrator as suggested by Support-Brian?

Also please share with us the Websphere 8 version details.

The same occurs running on XP, so running as admin does not figure in (and I am admin on this box)

ajsiegle,

My apologies for the late reply. Please provide below details -
1. Please share WAS 8 version details.
2. Are you able to run WAS 8 outside of MyEclipse ?
3. Please attach a screenshot of Window > Preferences > MyEclipse > Server > WebSphere Blue Connectors > WebSphere 8.0 and also attach a screenshot of WebSphere 8.0 server in the edit instance. You need to select server instance and click on [Edit]
4. Open Window > Show/View > Servers and check if you are able to run WAS 8.0

ajsiegle,

Thank you for the details. I would recommend you refer Tony's reply here - http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t-28967.html and copy the process_spawner.exe from lib\native\win\x86_32 to the root bin as suggested in the above post.

The workaround of copying the process_spawner allowed the server to start.
