Starting and stopping ESS

The ESSAPP application module is deployed to the ESS managed server, allowing you to control the starting/stopping of job scheduling and processing. The application module also provides an interface to view and edit job definitions, search for job requests, set up purge polices, and so on. Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control can be used to conveniently start/stop an ESS instance, as depicted in the following screenshot via the Start Up and Shut Down buttons:
