Configuring the Java virtual machine using scripting

Use scripting to configure settings for a Java virtual machine.

Before you begin

Before starting this task, the wsadmin tool must be running. See the Starting the wsadmin scripting client article for more information.

About this task

To modify the Java virtual machine (JVM) of a server to turn on debug, perform the following steps:

Procedure

  1. There are two ways to perform this task. Choose one of the following:
    • Using the AdminTask object:
      • Using Jacl:

        $AdminTask setJVMDebugMode {-serverName server1 -nodeName node1 -debugMode true}
      • Using Jython:
        AdminTask.setJVMDebugMode (['-serverName', 'server1', '-nodeName', 'node1', '-debugMode', 'true'])
    • Using the AdminConfig object:
      1. Identify the server and assign it to the server1 variable.
        • Using Jacl:

          set server1 [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/Server:server1/]
        • Using Jython:
          server1 = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/Server:server1/')
          print server1
        Example output:
        server1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode/servers/server1|server.xml#Server_1)
      2. Identify the JVM belonging to this server and assign it to the jvm variable.
        • Using Jacl:

          set jvm [$AdminConfig list JavaVirtualMachine $server1]
        • Using Jython:
          jvm = AdminConfig.list('JavaVirtualMachine', server1)
          print jvm

        Example output:

        (cells/mycell/nodes/mynode/servers/server1:server.xml#JavaVirtualMachine_1)
      3. Modify the JVM to turn on debugging.

        Using Jacl:

        $AdminConfig modify $jvm {{debugMode true} {debugArgs "-Djava.compiler=NONE -Xdebug -Xnoagent 
        -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=7777"}}

        Using Jython:

        AdminConfig.modify(jvm, [['debugMode', 'true'], ['debugArgs',  "-Djava.compiler=NONE -Xdebug 
        -Xnoagent -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=7777"]])
  2. Save the configuration changes. See the Saving configuration changes with the wsadmin tool article for more information.
  3. In a network deployment environment only, synchronize the node. See the Synchronizing nodes with the wsadmin tool article for more information.
