What is the difference between stopping a jvm using stopserver.sh and by kill -9 . Does it potentially creates any impact ? Can someone provide any good link to under stand this difference .
Till now it didn't create any problem for me. Just delete all the heapdumps and ffdc logs.

I don't know what the shell script does but kill -9 should generally be seen as a last resort. An application (including a vm) should be able and allowed to perform its pre-shutdown routines and that will not be done with kill -9
