wsadmin is taking 10 minutes to connect to Application Server

Question

wsadmin is taking about 10 minutes to connect to the WebSphere Application Server 7.0

i tried this:

C:\WAS_HOME\profiles\PROFILE_NAME\bin>wsadmin -lang jython -user -password -javaoption -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true

but very disappointed to wait to get a session within the shell, for example:

wsadmin>

===========

thank you for your feedback Rick!

i tried to get the port number and hostname by using AdminControl.getHost() and AdminControl.getPort() and I was eventually connected to the server despite some delay.

I noticed that I was connected to the server much faster when the hostname and port number were provided in the list of arguments.

Then i tried -conntype none and I was connected to the server almost immediately. do you have any idea why this happens? is there a log file i can take a look to understand the configurations?

Answer 1

Perhaps you can try to specify the host and port when you invoke wsadmin to remove any problems that may come in due to resolving host names?

wsadmin.bat -host xyx -port soap_port

Another debug option is to specify -conntype none. This launches wsadmin without connecting to the DMGR. If that also takes a long time, you have some other problems.

wsadmin.bat -conntype none

Answer 2

would it be advisable to use -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true as the value in the argument?

for example

wsadmin -lang jython -user USERNAME - password PASSWORD -host LOCALHOST -port 9999 -javaoption -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true

it still took me quite some time to connect to the applications server

Answer 3

Is your DMGR running fine, do a restart of your dmgr or nodeagent and see if the connection is faster.
