Server Start Action
When you start the server, Designer makes a socket connection to a running My webMethods Server in order to publish or unpublish projects. Make sure that the server you are connecting to is running. You cannot control the status of My webMethods Server from Designer. You simply open and close the connection from Designer to the server.
When you click the start icon, Designer changes the server status from Stopped to Starting. Designer uses a polling mechanism to periodically ping the server. When the server starts and responds to the HTTP request, the server status changes from Starting to Started.
When you start My webMethods Server, Designer uses the server connection details you have defined to connect to the My webMethods Server. Designer executes a GET request by using basic authentication. If the server returns the expected response code within the configured timeout period, the state of the server is changed from Starting to Started.
