The management API should provide a command to restart only all servers that are in state 'reload-required' ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: AS7-5128 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-5128 Project: Application Server 7 Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Domain Management Affects Versions: 7.1.2.Final (EAP) Reporter: Wolf-Dieter Fink Assignee: Emanuel Muckenhuber Labels: cli, domain, management Fix For: 8.0.0.Alpha1 After configuration changes via CLI batch it might be that different processes needs to be restarted. It is possible to iterate over all servers and check it. But I think it would be easier to have a command that restart all controllers and servers conditional to the 'relod required' state - at domain level - at host level - at server level command example : :restart(ifRequired=true) :reload(ifRequired=true)
