Intelligent Management: middleware server management administrative tasks

We can use the Jython and Jacl scripting languages to manage middleware servers with wsadmin.sh. Use commands in the MiddlewareServerManagement group.

Use the following commands to work with middleware servers:


getMiddlewareServerType

The getMiddlewareServerType command lists the middleware server types.

Target object: None.

Required parameters

-serverName

Name of the server for which to display the type. (String, required)

-nodeName

Node on which the server runs. (String, required)

Return value

The command returns a list of the middleware servers for the specified type.

Batch mode example

Interactive mode


listForeignServerTypes

The listForeignServerTypes command lists all of the supported middleware server types, not including any middleware servers associated with Intelligent Management.

Target object

Return value

The command returns a list of middleware server types, for example: 

PHP_SERVER
WASCE_SERVER
CUSTOMHTTP_SERVER
APACHE_SERVER
TOMCAT_SERVER
LIBERTY_SERVER
WEBLOGIC_SERVER  JBOSS_SERVER  WASAPP_SERVER

Batch mode example


listMiddlewareServers

The listMiddlewareServers command lists the middleware servers and the path to the configuration file for the servers. If we do not pass node or middleware server type parameters, then all of the servers are displayed.

Target object: None.

Optional parameters

-middlewareServerType

Type of middleware server to list. The middleware server types include: TOMCAT_SERVER, LIBERTY_SERVER, PHP_SERVER, WEBLOGIC_SERVER, JBOSS_SERVER, WASCE_SERVER, APACHE_SERVER, and CUSTOMHTTP_SERVER.(String, optional)

-nodeName

Node for which to list the servers. (String, optional)

Return value

The command returns the list of the middleware servers for the type that you indicated. For example, you might see the following output: 

nodeagent(cells/xdblade02b07/nodes/xdblade01b08/servers/nodeagent|server.xml)
WASCE_2.0.0.0_xdblade01b08_DS_2(cells/xdblade02b07/nodes/xdblade01b08/servers/WASCE_2.0.0.0_xdblade01b08_DS_2|server.xml)
WASCE_2.0.0.0_xdblade01b08_DS_1(cells/xdblade02b07/nodes/xdblade01b08/servers/WASCE_2.0.0.0_xdblade01b08_DS_1|server.xml)
WASCE_2.0.0.0_xdblade01b08_DS_4(cells/xdblade02b07/nodes/xdblade01b08/servers/WASCE_2.0.0.0_xdblade01b08_DS_4|server.xml)
frucg(cells/xdblade02b07/nodes/xdblade01b08/servers/frucg|server.xml)
WASCE_2.0.0.0_xdblade01b08_DD_1(cells/xdblade02b07/nodes/xdblade01b08/servers/WASCE_2.0.0.0_xdblade01b08_DD_1|server.xml)
dmgr(cells/xdblade02b07/nodes/xdblade02b07/servers/dmgr|server.xml)
middlewareagent(cells/xdblade02b07/nodes/thebe14/servers/middlewareagent|server.xml)
tttomcat_server(cells/xdblade02b07/nodes/thebe14/servers/tttomcat_server|server.xml)

listMiddlewareServerTypes

The listMiddlewareServerTypes command lists all of the server types.

Target object

Return value

The command returns a list of all of the server types, for example: 

APPLICATION_SERVER  PHP_SERVER  WASCE_SERVER  CUSTOMHTTP_SERVER  APACHE_SERVER  TOMCAT_SERVER  LIBERTY_SERVER
WEBLOGIC_SERVER  ONDEMAND_ROUTER  PROXY_SERVER  WEB_SERVER  JBOSS_SERVER  WASAPP_SERVER  GENERIC_SERVER

Batch mode example

Interactive mode


listWASServerTypes

The listWASServerTypes command lists only the server types associated with WebSphere Application Server.

Target object

Return value

The command returns a list of server types, for example:

Batch mode example


modifyForeignServerProperty

The modifyForeignServerProperty command modifies a property on a middleware server.

Target object: None.

Required parameters

-serverName

Name of the server. (String, required)

-nodeName

Name of the node. (String, required)

-propKey

Property key that is associated with the server.xml file. (String, required)

-propValue

Property value to set in the server.xml file. (String, required)

Return value

The command returns

Batch mode example

Interactive mode


showMiddlewareServerInfo

The showMiddlewareServerInfo command displays a list of properties for the middleware server.

Return value

The command returns

Required parameters

server_name(path_to_configuration_file|configuration_file_name)

This parameter determines the server for which to display the information. For example, you might use the following value for this parameter:

    odr2(cells/SVT61/nodes/oberon04/servers/odr2|server.xml)

We can determine the value of the path_to_configuration_file variable and the configuration_file_name value by running the listMiddlewareServers command. We can use the output of that command as the parameter value.

Batch mode example

Interactive mode

Example output 

{cell SVT61}
{serverMiddlewareType ONDEMAND_ROUTER}
{com.ibm.websphere.baseProductVersion 6.1.0.11}
{node oberon04}
{server odr2}


startMiddlewareServer

The startMiddlewareServer command starts a specified middleware server.

Target object: None.

Required parameters

-serverName

Name of the server to start. (String, required)

-nodeName

Node on which the server to start runs. (String, required)

Return value

The command returns

Batch mode example

stopMiddlewareServer

The stopMiddlewareServer command stops the specified middleware server.

Target object: None.

Required parameters

-serverName

Name of the middleware server to stop. (String, required)

-nodeName

Node on which the server to stop runs. (String, required)

Batch mode example
