6.6.0.2.1: XMLConfig command line interface for XML configuration

Use the XMLConfig tool to import and export configuration data to and from the WebSphere Application Server administration repository. This XML-based approach complements the administration you can perform through the WebSphere administrative console.

You may use this tool to perform multiple changes to the WebSphere Application Server administration repository at a single time without having to go through the repetitive routines on the Administration Console. You may also use this tool to extract the repository information from one server and import it onto a cloned server.

The XMLConfig tool provides three fundamental features:

  • full export
  • Generates an XML document describing the configuration of the entire administrative domain. In effect, the full export takes a "snapshot" of the administrative repository contents. Click here for an example of a full export, including a discussion of the various parts of the resulting XML file.

  • partial export
  • Provides an XML document specifying administrative objects to export from the administrative domain. The objects and their children are exported to an XML document that you specify. Click here for an example of a partial export.

  • import
  • Imports a newly created XML document or a document you previously exported and modified. In the XML document, you can add, modify, or remove administrative objects such as servlets and virtual hosts. Your XML document can replace the administrative repository contents partially or entirely.
