Overview

You can use scripting to invoke operations on running objects.

 

Procedure

1. Start wsadmin

2. Obtain the object name of the running object. For example:

   AdminControl.completeObjectName(name)

   For example...

   AdminControl.completeObjectName(type=Server,name=server1,*)

   It can be any valid combination of domain and key properties. For example, type, name, cell, node, process, etc.

3. Set the s1 variable to the running object...

   • Use Jacl:

     set s1 [$AdminControl completeObjectName type=Server,name=server1,*]

   • Use Jython:

     s1 = AdminControl.completeObjectName('type=Server,name=server1,*')

   where:

   set	Jacl command
   s1	variable name
   $	Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
   AdminControl	object that enables the manipulation of MBeans running in a WAS process
   completeObjectName	AdminControl command
   type	object name property key
   Server	name of the object
   name	object name property key
   server1	name of the server where the operation is invoked

4. Invoke the operation. For example:

   • Use Jacl:

     $AdminControl invoke $s1 stop

   • Use Jython:

     AdminControl.invoke(s1, 'stop')

   where:

   $	Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
   AdminControl	object that enables the manipulation of MBeans running in a WAS process
   invoke	AdminControl command
   s1	ID of the server that is specified in step number 3
   stop	operation to invoke on the server

 

Example

The following example is for operations that require parameters:

• Use Jacl:

  set traceServ [$AdminControl completeObjectName type=TraceService,process=server1,*]
  $AdminControl invoke $traceServ appendTraceString "com.ibm.ws.management.*=all=enabled"

• Use Jython:

  traceServ = AdminControl.completeObjectName('type=TraceService,process=server1,*')
  AdminControl.invoke(traceServ, 'appendTraceString', "com.ibm.ws.management.*=all=enabled")
