Optionally, you can use interactive mode with the commands:
AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')
Procedure
- Run the createPropertiesFileTemplates command to create a server template.
- Open the properties file in an editor.
- To create server properties, edit the template create sections, set SKIP=false, and run applyConfigProperties.
Run applyConfigProperties applies the properties file to the configuration. In this Jython example, the optional -reportFileName parameter produces a report named report.txt:
AdminTask.applyConfigProperties(['-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt'])
- To delete server properties, edit the template delete sections, set SKIP=false, and run deleteConfigProperties.
AdminTask.deleteConfigProperties('[-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt]')
