Using the administrative clients

  • Using the administrative console

    You can install, start, and access the administrative console. You can also specify console preferences and access help.

  • Getting started with wsadmin scripting

    Scripting is a non-graphical alternative that you can use to configure and manage WebSphere® Application Server.

  • Using administrative programs (JMX)

    This topic describes how to use Java application programming interfaces (APIs) to administer WebSphere Application Server and to manage your applications.

  • Using command-line tools

    The product provides many tools that you can call from a command line.

  • manageprofiles command

    Use the manageprofiles command to create, delete, augment, back up, and restore profiles, which define runtime environments. Using profiles instead of multiple product installations saves disk space and simplifies updating the product because a single set of core product files is maintained.

  • startServer command

    The startServer command reads the configuration file for the specified server process and starts that server process.

  • stopServer command

    The stopServer command reads the configuration file for the specified server process. This command sends a Java management extensions (JMX) command to the server telling it to shut down.

  • serverStatus command

    Use the serverStatus command to obtain the status of one or all of the servers configured on a node.

  • cleanupNode command

    The cleanupNode command cleans up a node configuration from the cell repository.

  • registerNode command

    Use the registerNode command to register a stand-alone node with an administrative agent so that the administrative agent can manage the node.

  • deregisterNode command

    Use the deregisterNode command to unregister a node from an administrative agent so that you can use the node stand-alone or register the node with another administrative agent.

  • backupConfig command

    The backupConfig command is a simple utility to back up the configuration of your node to a file.

  • restoreConfig command

    Use the restoreConfig command to restore the configuration of your node after backing up the configuration using the backupConfig command.

  • versionInfo command

    The versionInfo command generates a report that includes a list of installed fix packs and interim fixes.

  • genVersionReport command

    The genVersionReport command uses the versionInfo command to generate the versionReport.html report file in the current working directory, which is usually the bin directory. The report includes a list of installed fix packs and interim fixes.

  • historyInfo command

    The historyInfo command generates a report that includes a history of installed or uninstalled fix packs and interim fixes.

  • genHistoryReport command

    The genHistoryReport command generates the historyReport.html report file in the current working directory, which is usually the bin directory. The report includes a list of installed or uninstalled fix packs and interim fixes. The genHistoryReport script invokes the historyInfo script specifying the correct parameters to place the information generated into an HTML file in the current directory.

  • managesdk command

    The managesdk command provides the names of software development kits that are used by the product.

  • GenPluginCfg command

    The GenPluginCfg command is used to regenerate the WebSphere web server plug-in configuration file, plugin-cfg.xml.

  • EARExpander command

    Use the EARExpander command to expand an enterprise archive (EAR) file into a directory to run the application in that EAR file.

  • revokeCertificate command

    The revokeCertificate command uses an implementation class that is passed to communicate with a certificate authority (CA) server to revoke a certificate. Processing this command sends a revocation request to the CA server to mark this certificate as revoked.

  • requestCertificate command

    The requestCertificate command uses an implementation class that is passed in to communicate with a certificate authority (CA) server to request a CA signed certificate. The command then adds the certificate to a supplied keystore.

  • createCertRequest command

    The createCertRequest command creates a PKCS10 certificate request and stores it in a client keystore so that it can be used to send to a certificate authority (CA) server using the requestCertificate command line utility.

  • queryCertificate command

    The queryCertificate command uses an implementation class that is passed to communicate with a certificate authority (CA) server and query a certificate.

  • Example: Security and the command line tools

    If you want to enable WebSphere Application Server security, you need to provide the command line tools with authentication information.
