System and method to implement a failsafe middleware starting procedure framework

Abstract

An apparatus may comprise a memory communicatively coupled to a processor. The memory may be configured to store a start script configured to enable execution of one or more middleware instances and multiple start-up files configured to indicate any middleware instances to be executed by an admin server or one or more managed servers. The processor may be configured to trigger initiation of the start script, determine whether the start-up files comprise a middleware instance, ping the admin server in response to determining that the start-up files comprise the middleware instance, and determine that the admin server is running. Further, the processor is configured to ping the managed server associated with databases associated with a managed server, determine that the databases are running, and trigger a start of the middleware instance at the admin server or at the managed server.
