The WebSphere® administrative (wsadmin) scripting
program is a powerful, non-graphical command interpreter environment
enabling you to run administrative operations in a scripting language.
About this task
The wsadmin tool is intended for production environments
and unattended operations. You can use the wsadmin tool to perform
the same tasks that you can perform using the administrative console.
The
following list highlights the topics and tasks available with scripting:
Procedure
- Using the script library
to automate the application serving environment Provides
a set of Jython script procedures that automate the most common application
server administration functions. For example, you can use the script
library to easily configure servers, applications, mail settings,
resources, nodes, business-level applications, clusters, authorization
groups, and more. You can run each script procedure individually,
or combine several procedures to quickly develop new scripts.
- Deploying applications
Provides instructions for deploying and uninstalling applications.
For example, stand-alone Java archive
files and Web archive files, the administrative console, remote Enterprise
Archive (EAR) files, file transfer applications, and so on.
- Managing deployed applications
Includes tasks that you perform after the application is deployed.
For example, starting and stopping applications, checking status,
modifying listener address ports, querying application state, configuring
a shared library, and so on.
- Clustering servers
Includes topics about clusters, such as creating clusters, creating
cluster members, querying a cluster state, removing clusters, and
so on.
- Configuring data access
Includes topics such as configuring a Java DataBase
Connectivity (JDBC) provider, defining a data source, configuring
connection pools, and so on.
