Modifying the starting weight of applications using wsadmin scripting

You can use the wsadmin tool and scripting to modify the starting weight of an application.

Before you begin

Start the wsadmin scripting tool.

About this task

Attention: If an application is running, changing an application setting causes the application to restart. On stand-alone servers, the application restarts after you save the change. On multiple-server products, the application restarts after you save the change and files synchronize on the node where the application is installed. To control when synchronization occurs on multiple-server products, deselect Synchronize changes with nodes on the Console preferences page.

Complete the steps in this topic to modify the starting weight of an application.

Procedure

  1. Retrieve the configuration ID of the object that you want to modify and set it to a variable.

    For example, set the configuration ID to the dep variable. In this example, the object is the deployed application MyApp.

    • Using Jacl:

      set dep [$AdminConfig getid /Deployment:MyApp/]
    • Using Jython:

      dep = AdminConfig.getid("/Deployment:MyApp/")
  2. Identify the deployed object and set it to a variable. For example:

    For example, set the deployed object to the depObject variable:

    • Using Jacl:

      set depObject [$AdminConfig showAttribute $dep deployedObject]
    • Using Jython:

      depObject = AdminConfig.showAttribute(dep, "deployedObject")
  3. Show the current attribute values of the configuration object with the show command.
    • Using Jacl:

      $AdminConfig show $depObject startingWeight

      Example output:

      {startingWeight 1}
    • Using Jython:

      AdminConfig.show(depObject, 'startingWeight')

      Example output:

      [startingWeight 1]
  4. Modify the attributes of the configuration object with the modify command.
    • Using Jacl:

      $AdminConfig modify $depObject {{startingWeight 2}}
    • Using Jython:

      AdminConfig.modify(depObject, [['startingWeight', '2']])
  5. Verify the changes that you made to the attribute value with the show command.
    • Using Jacl:

      $AdminConfig show $depObject startingWeight

      Example output:

      {startingWeight 2}
    • Using Jython:

      AdminConfig.show(depObject, 'startingWeight')

      Example output:

      [startingWeight 2]
  6. Save the configuration changes.
    Use the following command example to save your configuration changes:
    AdminConfig.save()
