Hi Experts, Really appreciate your guidance here… I have setup a Websphere liberty application in Linux environment, there I am doing commandline execution and i want to automate that process through ansible now After installing Websphere Liberty, when i try to start liberty server using the “/opt/IBM/JazzTeamserver/server/server.startup.sh” locally within the server its getting started and creating a “clm” liberty profile and its configuration files (server.xml and other configuration files) and the [https://myserverip:9443/](https://myserverip:9443/) is working fine. But When i try to remotely call and execute the server.startup script using ansible playbook, its getting executed successfully and creating the “clm” liberty profile but suddenly its getting stopped. its showing as liberty server is not started How can i resolve the issue here below is my playbook which is not working properly here… Playbook. ---
