I just experienced a strange problem with WebSphere Process Server. When I started WPS server from WebSphere Integration Developer, its status was starting… starting… and starting… only. The server’s status remains unchanged for ever. I tried all the ways I could think to make the status as started. I stopped the server, restarted the server, killed the server, restarted WID, killed WID, and even restarted my machine (Unfortunately I did not know how to kill my machine. Moreover my laptop was given by my company and any developments on my laptop’s physical and mental state has a direct impact on my pas slip. So I did not invest too much time for reading articles on how to kill my machine ).

The strange part was, according to the log files the server was open for e-business and when I tried I was able to access the BPC Explorer and admin console. But some how WID didn’t know about the server’s status change.

Finally I got a solution to fix the problem. Just double click on the server and open the server properties window. Change the ‘Server connection type’ to SOAP. I don’t know how it solved the problem, but it worked and it is working.
