Install applications with the wsadmin tool

Overview

Steps for using the AdminApp object commands to install an application into the run time follow:

1. Invoke the AdminApp object commands interactively, in a script, or use the wsadmin -c command from an operating system command prompt.

2. Issue one of the following commands:

   The following command uses the EAR file and the command option information to install the application:

   Using Jacl:

   $AdminApp install c:/MyStuff/application1.ear {-server serv2}

   Using Jython list:

   AdminApp.install('c:/MyStuff/application1.ear', ['-server' 'serv2'])

   Using Jython string:

   AdminApp.install('c:/MyStuff/application1.ear', '[-server serv2]')

   where:

   $	is a Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
   AdminApp	is an object supporting application object management
   install	is an AdminApp command
   MyStuff/application1.ear	is the name of the application to install
   server	is an installation option
   serv2	is the value of the server option

   
   
   

   The following command changes the application information by prompting you through a series of installation tasks:

   Using Jacl:

   $AdminApp installInteractive c:/MyStuff/application1.ear

   Using Jython:

   AdminApp.installInteractive('c:/MyStuff/application1.ear')

   where:

   $	is a Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
   AdminApp	is an object allowing application objects to be managed
   installInteractive	is an AdminApp command
   MyStuff/application1.ear	is the name of the application to install

   
   
   

   In a Network Deployment environment only, the following command uses the EAR file and the command option information to install the application on a cluster:

   Using Jacl:

   $AdminApp install c:/MyStuff/application1.ear {-cluster cluster1}

   Using Jython list:

   AdminApp.install('c:/MyStuff/application1.ear', ['-cluster' 'cluster1'])

   Using Jython string:

   AdminApp.install('c:/MyStuff/application1.ear', '[-cluster cluster1]')

   where:

   $	is a Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
   AdminApp	is an object allowing application objects to be managed
   install	is an AdminApp command
   MyStuff/application1.ear	is the name of the application to install
   cluster	is an installation option
   cluster1	is the value of the server option

   
   
   

3. Save the configuration changes with the following command:

   Using Jacl:

   $AdminConfig save

   Using Jython:

   AdminConfig.save()

   Use the reset command of the AdminConfig object to undo changes that you made to your workspace since your last save.
