appEditionRename.py script

We can use the appEditionRename.py script to change the edition of all applications installed on a server or a cluster, excluding system applications.

Location

The appEditionRename.py script is in the app_server_root/bin directory.

Usage

The following syntax describes the default script usage:

./wsadmin.sh -lang jython -f appEditionRename.py

Parameters

-renameForCluster

Renames all non-system applications installed on a specified cluster.

Argument	Description
newEdition	New edition name
cluster	Name of the target cluster

-renameForServer

Renames all non-system applications installed on a specified server.

Argument	Description
node	Name of the node
server	Name of the server on the node

Options

-test

Allows users to preview the applications that will be renamed. All applications that will be renamed are listed.

-edition

Edition of an application.

-excludedApps=application_name

Allows users to exclude applications that are not to be modified. For example, if a user wants to exclude the applications of app1 and app1 that are part of edition two, then the user would set -excludedApps=app1,app1-editiontwo.

Usage

1. Identify the target cluster with applications to be renamed.

   Run the script with the -test option to identify the applications that will be renamed.

   -renameForCluster cluster1 2 -test

2. Ensure that only expected applications are renamed.

   If applications need to be excluded, use the -excludedApps option to prevent the applications from being renamed.

   -renameForCluster cluster1 2 -test -excludedApps=AppB,AppC,AppD-edition2

3. Run the script without the -test option to rename the applications.
   -renameForCluster cluster1 2 -excludedApps=AppB,AppC,AppD-edition2
