Configuring traces using scripting

Use the wsadmin tool and scripting to configure traces for a configured server.

Before you begin

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

About this task

Perform the following steps to set the trace for a configured server:

Procedure

  1. Identify the server and assign it to the server variable:
    • Using Jacl:

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

      set tc [$AdminConfig list TraceService $server]
    • Using Jython:
      tc = AdminConfig.list('TraceService', server)
      print tc
    Example output:
    (cells/mycell/nodes/mynode/servers/server1|server.xml#TraceService_1)
  3. Set the trace string. The following example sets the trace string for a single component:
    • Using Jacl:

      $AdminConfig modify $tc {{startupTraceSpecification 
      com.ibm.websphere.management.*=all=enabled}}
    • Using Jython:
      AdminConfig.modify(tc, [['startupTraceSpecification',  
      'com.ibm.websphere.management.*=all=enabled']])
  4. The following command sets the trace string for multiple components:
    • Using Jacl:

      $AdminConfig modify $tc {{startupTraceSpecification 
      com.ibm.websphere.management.*=all=enabled:com.ibm.ws.
      management.*=all=enabled:com.ibm.ws.runtime.*=all=enabled}}
    • Using Jython:
      AdminConfig.modify(tc, [['startupTraceSpecification',  
      'com.ibm.websphere.management.*=all=enabled:com.ibm.ws.
      management.*=all=enabled:com.ibm.ws.runtime.*=all=enabled']])
  5. Save the configuration changes. See the saving configuration changes with the wsadmin tool information.
  6. In a network deployment environment only, synchronize the node. See the synchronizing nodes with the wsadmin tool information.
