clientRAR tool

This page describes the command line syntax for the client resource adapter installation tool.

If this tool is used to add or delete resource adapters on the server, then only the client can use the resource adapter. If the resource adapter is installed on the server using wsadmin or the admin console, then do not use the clientRAR tool remove it. Only resource adapters that are installed using the clientRAR tool should be removed using the clientRAR tool. The command line invocation syntax for the clientRAR tool follows:

clientRAR [-help | -?] [-CRDcom.ibm.ws.client.installedConnectors=<dir>] <task> <archive>
 where 
-help, -? Print the usage information. 
-CRDcom.ibm.ws.client.installedConnectors  The directory where resource adapters are installed. This will override the system property of the same name (com.ibm.ws.client.installedConnectors).


<task> The task to perform: add - install, delete - uninstall.

<archive> if task=add then this is the fully qualified name of the resource adapter archive file. If task=delete then this is the filename of the resource adapter archive to be uninstalled.
