server commands

The server commands perform Open Liberty server functions that include creating a server, starting a server, and stopping a server.

You can also perform a server memory dump, which creates a snapshot of the server and saves the result into an archive file, or run a server in debug mode.

With these commands, you can manage basic operation of an Open Liberty server.

The following server commands are available:

server create: The command creates an Open Liberty server.
server debug: The command starts the specified Open Liberty server in debug mode.
server dump: The command creates a snapshot of a server and saves the result into an archive file for further tuning and diagnosis.
server help: The command displays information about the server command, with details about its actions and options.
server javadump: The command creates a snapshot of the JVM status of a server and saves the result into an archive file for further tuning and diagnosis.
