It depends on how you shutdown the server?

Is your server Windows or Unix?
For Unix, if you use the shutdown command, then it will cleanly shutdown each service (DB2, WAS, etc) provided that these have corresponding shutdown scripts. (see your Unix administration manual for details)

For Windows, if you shutdown the server, then like Unix, it should shutdown each service (DB2, WAS, etc) accordingly.

If you power off the system without letting the system cleanly shutdown each service, then you could run into problems such as corrupted files, which can mean corrupted database tables, WAS configuration files, and corrupted operating system files.

Make sure you have a good backup strategy in place.

Regards,
Anthony.

Make sure that your Linux system has the shutdown scripts for DB2 and WAS/CLM.

These should be located in /etc/rc.d/init.d and installed via the chkconfig facility.
I don't know if DB2 and WAS have such scripts, you might need to write these yourself.
