Clustered WPS Start - Stop procedure

Many a times i came across a scenario where in the developers working on clustered WPS env on dev/test/SIT etc didn't knew how to gracefully stop or start the servers in the env. There is a specific sequence that needs to be followed to either Start or Stop the servers : 

(Developers mostly prefer to grep and kill !! This is not a right way !!)

(1) Steps to Stop the servers in WPS clustered env:- (Assuming the WPS clustering has been done using the Golden topology)

(A) Stop the Deployement Env from the Admin console (This would stop all the messaging, support and application servers)

(B)  Stop the Node Agents : 

go to the : WPS/profile//bin/ and fire a "stopNode.sh" command.

You need to do the same for all the node agents in your env one by one.

(C) Stop the Deployment Manager:

DM/profiles//bin/ and fire a "stopManger.sh" command.

(2) Steps to Start the servers in WPS clustered env:-

(A) Start the Deployment Manager

(B) Start the Node Agents

(C) Start Servers in these Node agents
