Configure traces using scripting
Use wsadmin.sh and scripting to configure traces for a configured server. See the starting the wsadmin scripting client information.
Perform the following steps to set the trace for a configured server:
Procedure
- Identify the server and assign it to the server variable:
### Jacl
set server [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/Server:server1/]### Jython
server = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/Server:server1/') print server
Example output:
server1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode/servers/server1|server.xml#Server_1)
- Identify the trace service belonging to the server and assign it to the tc variable:
### Jacl
set tc [$AdminConfig list TraceService $server]### Jython
tc = AdminConfig.list('TraceService', server) print tc
Example output:
(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode/servers/server1|server.xml#TraceService_1)
- Set the trace string. The following example sets the trace string for a single component:
### Jacl
$AdminConfig modify $tc {{startupTraceSpecification com.ibm.websphere.management.*=all=enabled}}### Jython
AdminConfig.modify(tc, [['startupTraceSpecification', 'com.ibm.websphere.management.*=all=enabled']])
- The following command sets the trace string for multiple components:
### Jacl
$AdminConfig modify $tc {{startupTraceSpecification com.ibm.websphere.management.*=all=enabled:com.ibm.ws. management.*=all=enabled:com.ibm.ws.runtime.*=all=enabled}}### Jython
AdminConfig.modify(tc, [['startupTraceSpecification', 'com.ibm.websphere.management.*=all=enabled:com.ibm.ws. management.*=all=enabled:com.ibm.ws.runtime.*=all=enabled']])
- Save the configuration changes. See the saving configuration changes with wsadmin.sh information.
- Synchronize the node. See the synchronizing nodes with the wsadmin tool information.
