WebSphere® Process Server provides command-line tools, scripting interfaces, and programming interfaces (administrative programs) to administer the runtime environment.
Command-line tools are simple programs that you run from an operating system command-line prompt to perform specific tasks. Using these tools, you can start and stop application servers, check server status, add or remove nodes, and other tasks.
The WebSphere Process Server command-line tools include the serviceDeploy command, which processes .jar, .ear, .war and .rar files exported from a WebSphere Integration Developer environment and prepares them for installation to the production server.
See Commands and scripts in this information center for details about the command-line tools.
The WebSphere administrative (wsadmin) scripting program is a non-graphical command interpreter environment that enables you to run administrative options in a scripting language and to submit scripting language programs for execution. It supports the same tasks as the administrative console. The wsadmin tool is intended for production environments and unattended operations.
See Commands and scripts in this information center for details about the programming interfaces.
Administrative programs are a set of Java™ classes and methods under the Java Management Extensions (JMX) specification that provide support for administering Service Component Architecture (SCA) and business objects. Each programming interface includes a description of its purpose, an example that demonstrates how to use the interface or class, and references to the individual method descriptions.
See Generated API and SPI documentation in this information center for details about the programming interfaces.
