Am running into issues when i start websphere application server from MyEclipse.

Am able to start the Application server from windows command prompt but am getting the below error while starting from MyEclipse

ADMU0116I: Tool information is being logged in file

gkgunda ,

Sorry that you are seeing this issue.

Can you answer some more questions for us ?

1) Can you share the installation details from MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details ? Also mention the OS details.

2) Which version of Websphere Application Server are you working with ?

3) The Java Home might be corrupted. Can you please recheck if the executable is not corrupted ?

4) Clear the contents of the startServer.log, replicate the issue and please attach the startServer.log from C:\profiles\AppSrv01\logs\server1\startServer.log for us to investigate further.

5) Also attach the .log file which is located at <workspace dir>/.metadata/.log for us to see if there are any errors.

Hi,

I have exactly this error - and I'm unable to work with MyEclipse until it is resolved. My messages on failure are

Code:

ADMU0116I: Tool information is being logged in file C:\Program Files            (x86)\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv02\logs\server1\startServer.log ADMU0128I: Starting tool with the AppSrv02 profile ADMU3100I: Reading configuration for server: server1 Time: [0x4fc79033], Process: [3608], Thread: [0xcb0]: Unable to launch the process_spawner executable.

Here is some of the information that was asked for.

- Installation Details: In attached file InstallDetails.txt
- WebSphere version - Version 8.0.0.1
- I have checked the JAVA_HOME, and the java executable executes fine from a command line
- startServer.log.txt is attached - this was cleared, and contains the logging for a single failed start
- startServer-succeed.log.txt - contains start logging for starting the server successfully outside of MyEclipse
- <workspace dir>/.metadata/.log file is in attached log.txt file

OK - After browsing around on the web, I created a new profile, made sure it was registered as a service, and set the Startup Type to manual.

Using this profile, I could successfully start WAS 8 from within Eclipse.

However - there are still two issues.

* If MyEclipse needs WAS registered as a service with Manual Startup Type, then this should be made very clear IN THE WIZARD THAT CREATES THE SERVER in MyEclipse. Whether or not it is in some piece of documentation somewhere - this will bit many people who don't set up a profile as a service.

* Why is this limitation there? If this is a bug or a limitation that you will address then document it.

YaakovW,

Can you please check this thread and copy the process_spawner.exe from lib\native\win\x86_32 to the root bin as suggested in the thread ?
