42 <strong>Getting</strong> <strong>Started</strong> <strong>with</strong> <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> Community Edition<br />
Later in the book we will use the Eclipse plug-in to start the server, so at this time, if this<br />
test was successful, we suggest you stop the server.<br />
To stop the server, on Windows choose Start -> Programs -> IBM <strong>WebSphere</strong> -><br />
<strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> Community Edition -> Stop the server. Alternatively use stopserver.bat<br />
from the same directory where you executed the commands to start it. On<br />
Linux use stop-server.sh. To stop the server, you will be prompted for a user ID and<br />
a password. Use the system/manager combination.<br />
2.6 Community Edition and DB2 Express-C on the Cloud<br />
If you would like to experience Community Edition and DB2 Express-C <strong>with</strong>out having to<br />
install these products, they are both available on the Cloud. The Cloud is ideal for<br />
development and testing, and can get you up and running in no time <strong>with</strong>out having you to<br />
get a server on your own to install these products. IBM has partnered <strong>with</strong> RightScale<br />
and Amazon Web Services to make these products available on the Amazon EC2 cloud.<br />
You will find a Community Edition and DB2 Express-C all-in-one template in the template<br />
library at https://my.RightScale.com. The direct link is<br />
https://my.rightscale.com/server_templates/51010<br />
First, you need to get a free developer account at<br />
http://www.rightscale.com/products/free_edition.php. There are no charges for using<br />
Community Edition or DB2 Express-C on the cloud but you will have to pay Amazon for the<br />
use of the hardware resources but only for the time that your Community Edition and DB2<br />
servers are up and running.<br />
Note:<br />
For more information about Cloud Computing refer to the book <strong>Getting</strong> started <strong>with</strong> Cloud<br />
Computing which is part of this DB2 on Campus free book series.<br />
