Invoking an administrative command in interactive mode

 

These steps demonstrate how to invoke an administrative command in interactive mode.

 

Overview

To invoke an administrative command in batch mode, see Invoking an administrative command in batch mode.

 

Procedure

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

  2. Invoke an administrative command in interactive mode by issuing one of the following commands:

      Use the following command invocation to enter interactive mode without providing another input in the command invocation:

      Use Jacl:

      $AdminTask commandName {-interactive}
      

      Using Jython:

      AdminTask.commandName(‘[-interactive]’)
      
      where:

      $ Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
      AdminTask object that supports administrative command management
      commandName name of the administrative command to invoke
      -interactive interactive option

      Use the following command invocation to enter interactive mode using an administrative command that takes a target object. You do not have to provide a target object to enter interactive mode. Target objects provided in the command invocation will be applied to the command and displayed as the current target object value during interactive prompting.

      Use Jacl:

      $AdminTask commandName targetObject {-interactive}
      

      Use Jython:

      AdminTask.commandName(targetObject, ‘[-interactive]’)
      
      where:

      $ Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
      AdminTask object that supports administrative command management
      commandName name of the administrative command to invoke
      targetObject target object string for the invoked administrative command. The target object is different for each administrative command. View the online help for the invoked administrative command to learn more about what to specify as a target object.
      -interactive interactive option

      Use the following command invocation to enter interactive mode for an administrative command that takes options. You do not have to provide other options to enter interactive mode. Options provided in the command invocation are applied to the command and the option values will be displayed as the current values during interactive prompting.

      Use Jacl:

      $AdminTask commandName {-interactive commandOptions}
      

      Use Jython:

      AdminTask.commandName(‘[-interactive commandOptions]’)
      
      where:

      $ Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
      AdminTask object that supports administrative command management
      commandName name of the administrative command to invoke
      -interactive interactive option
      commandOptions command option that is available for the associated administrative command. Available command options are different for each administrative command. View the online help for the invoked administrative command to obtain more information about which options are available. Arguments and steps that are listed on the online administrative command help are specified as command options. Each option consists of a dash followed immediately by an option name, and then followed by an option value if the option requires a value. For example, using the output of the following online help for the createJ2CConnectionFactory command:

      WASX8006I: Detailed help for command: 
      createJ2CConnectionFactory
      
      Description: Create a J2C connection  factory
      
      *Target object: The parent J2C resource  adapter of the created J2C connection  factory.
      
      Arguments:
      *connectionFactoryInterface - A connection  factory interface that is  defined in the deployment description of  the parent J2C resource adapter.
      *name - The name of the J2C connection factory.
      *jndiName - The JNDI name of the created 
      J2C connection factory. description - The description for the created 
      J2C connection factory. authDataAlias - the authentication data alias  of the created J2C connection factory.
      
      Steps:
      None
      
      
      In this example, five options are available:

      • -connectionFactoryInterface

      • -name

      • -jndiName

      • -description

      • -authDataAlias

      Each option requires a value. Three of the options are required and are denoted with a star (*).

      Use the following command invocation to enter interactive mode for an administrative command that has a target object and options. You do not have to specify a target object to enter interactive mode. The values specified are applied to the command before the command data is displayed. As a result, the values specified will be displayed as the current values during interactive prompting.

      Use Jacl:

      $AdminTask commandName targetObject {-interactive commandOptions}
      

      Using Jython:

      AdminTask.commandName(targetObject, ‘[-interactive commandOptions]’)
      
      where:

      $ Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
      AdminTask object that supports administrative command management
      commandName name of the administrative command to invoke
      targetObject target object string for the invoked administrative command. The expect target object varies with each admin command. Consult the online help on the invoked administrative command to learn more about what to specify as target object.
      -interactive interactive option
      commandOptions command option that is available for the associated administrative command. Available command options are different for each administrative command. View the online help for the invoked administrative command to obtain more information about which options are available. Arguments and steps that are listed on the online administrative command help are specified as command options. Each option consists of a dash followed immediately by an option name, and then followed by an option value if the option requires a value. For example, using the output of the following online help for the createJ2CConnectionFactory command:

      WASX8006I: Detailed help for command: 
      createJ2CConnectionFactory
      
      Description: Create a J2C connection factory  *Target object: The parent J2C resource adapter of  the created J2C connection factory.
      
      Arguments:
      *connectionFactoryInterface - A connection factory  interface that is  defined in the deployment description of the  parent J2C resource adapter.
      *name - The name of the J2C connection factory.
      *jndiName - The JNDI name of the created J2C  connection factory. description - The description for the created 
      J2C connection factory. authDataAlias - the authentication data alias  of the created J2C connection factory.
      
      Steps:
      None
      
      
      In this example, five options are available:

      • -connectionFactoryInterface

      • -name

      • -jndiName

      • -description

      • -authDataAlias

      Each option requires a value. Three of the options are required and are denoted with a star (*).
