Modify configuration objects with the wsadmin tool

 

Procedure

1. Start wsadmin

2. Retrieve the configuration ID of the objects that you want to modify, for example:

   • Jacl:

     set jdbcProvider1 [$AdminConfig getid /JDBCProvider:myJdbcProvider/]
     
     

   • Jython

     jdbcProvider1 = AdminConfig.getid('/JDBCProvider:myJdbcProvider/')
     

   where:

   set	is a Jacl command
   jdbcProvider1	is a variable name
   $	is a Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
   AdminConfig	is an object that represents the WAS configuration
   getid	is an AdminConfig command
   /JDBCProvider:myJdbcProvider/	is the hierarchical containment path of the configuration object
   JDBCProvider	is the object type
   myJdbcProvider	is the optional name of the object

3. Show the current attribute values of the configuration object with the show command, for example:

   • Jacl:

     $AdminConfig show $jdbcProvider1
     

   • Jython

     AdminConfig.show(jdbcProvider1)
     

   where:

   $	is a Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
   AdminConfig	is an object that represents the WAS configuration
   show	is an AdminConfig command
   jdbcProvider1	evaluates to the ID of the host node that is specified in step number 1

4. Modify the attributes of the configuration object, for example:

   • Jacl:

     $AdminConfig modify $jdbcProvider1 {{description "This is my new description"}}
     

   • Jython list

     AdminConfig.modify(jdbcProvider1, [['description', "This is my new description"]])
     

   • Jython string

     AdminConfig.modify(jdbcProvider1, '[[description "This is my new description"]]')
     

   where:

   $	is a Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
   AdminConfig	is an object that represents the WAS configuration
   modify	is an AdminConfig command
   jdbcProvider1	evaluates to the ID of the host node that is specified in step number 1
   description	is an attribute of server objects
   This is my new description	is the value of the description attribute

   We can also modify several attributes at the same time. For example:

   • Jacl:

     {{name1 val1} {name2 val2} {name3 val3}}
     $AdminConfig save
     

   • Jython list

     [['name1', 'val1'], ['name2', 'val2'], ['name3', 'val3']]
     

   • Jython string

     '[[name1 val1] [name2 val2] [name3 val3]]'
     

5. In a network deployment environment only, synchronize the node.
