Middleware server creation administrative tasks
You can use administrative tasks to write a script that can recreate your middleware server configuration. Use the following commands to create middleware servers:
- createTomCatServer
- createWebLogicServer
- createJBossServer
- #cxdadminmws__createPHPserver
- createWasCEServer
createTomCatServer
The createTomCatServer command creates a representation of an Apache Tomcat server.
Target object
The node name.
- -name
- Name of the server to create. (String, required)
- -templateName
- Name of the template that is used to create the server.
- -genUniquePorts
- Specifies a parameter to generate unique HTTP ports for a server. (Boolean)
- -templateLocation
- Specifies the location where the template is stored. Use the system defined location if it is not specified. Using the system defined location is recommended.
- -specificShortName
- Specifies the specific short name of the server. All servers should have unique specific short name. This parameter is optional and when it is not specified a unique specific short name is automatically assigned. The value must be eight characters or less and all upper case.
- -genericShortName
- Specifies the generic short name of the server. All members of a cluster must have the same generic short name. Individual servers must have a unique generic short name. This parameter is optional. When this parameter is not specified, a unique generic short name is automatically assigned. The value must be eight characters or less and all upper case.
- -clusterName
- Name of the cluster for this server.
Return value
The command returns a list of the middleware servers for the specified type.
Batch mode example usage
- Use Jacl:
$AdminTask createTomCatServer nodename {-name ServerName}- Use Jython:
AdminTask.createTomCatServer ('nodename','[-name ServerName]')Interactive mode example usage
- Use Jacl:
$AdminTask createTomCatServer {-interactive}- Use Jython:
AdminTask.createTomCatServer ([-interactive]')
