Use the wsadmin tool to run an existing administrative
command using properties file based configuration. The command must
not contain a parameter that uses a complex data type. Supported parameter
types are basic types such as String, Long, Integer, Float, Double,
Boolean, Character, Short, Byte, URL, and ObjectName, and complex
types such as Array of basic types, Properties, DownLoadFile, and
UpLoadFile.
Before you begin
Determine the administrative command that you want to run.
Ensure that all parameters in the command use only a supported data
type.
About this task
You can extract the properties that are required to run
a command using the createPropertiesFileTemplates command. Specify GenericType for
the configType parameter and a commandName option.
After
extracting a properties file for a command, edit the properties file
as needed, and then validate and apply the properties file.
For
each of the commands in this topic, you can run in interactive mode
by specifying the interactive parameter:
AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')
Procedure
- Start the wsadmin scripting tool.
To start
wsadmin using the Jython language, run the following command from
the
bin directory of the server profile:
wsadmin -lang Jython
- Extract the properties that are required to run the administrative
command.
To extract the properties that are required
to run a command, use the createPropertiesFileTemplates command. Specify GenericType for
the configType parameter and commandName command_name for
the options parameter.
For example, to extract properties for
the createSIBus command to a file named createSIBus.props,
run the following command:
AdminTask.createPropertiesFileTemplates('[-propertiesFileName createSIBus.props
-configType GenericType -options [[commandName createSIBus]] ]')
The resulting createSIBus.props file
contains the following extracted properties:
#
CreateDeleteCommandProperties=true
#SKIP=true
commandName=createSIBus
#
#
#Properties
#
busSecurity=false #Boolean
highMessageThreshold=null #Long
bus=myBus #String,required
…
- Open an editor on the extracted properties file and modify
the extracted properties file as needed.
Ensure that
the extracted properties file provides suitable values for required
parameters.
- Apply the properties file using the applyConfigProperties
command.
For example, to apply the createSIBus.props properties
file, run following wsadmin command:
AdminTask.applyConfigProperties('[-propertiesFileName createSIBus.props]')
Results
The administrative command runs and applies the properties
file.
