Auto-restarting the WebSphere JVM after a crash can be a useful feature for ensuring uptime and minimizing downtime. In this blog post, we will discuss how to enable the auto-restart setting in WebSphere.
First, navigate to the Monitoring Policy under Java and Process Management section for the Application Server in the WebSphere administrative console. In the Monitoring Policy, you will find the option to set the Node Restart State. Change this setting to “Running” for the JVM in question.
It’s worth noting that this setting will also bring the JVM up when the node is started, ensuring that your application is always running and available.
Additionally, it is recommended to monitor the JVM logs, and in case the JVM crashes frequently, it’s best to investigate the root cause of the crash.
