dpManagerCommands (AdminTask)

We can use the Jython scripting language to configure the DataPower appliance manager with wsadmin.sh. The IBM WebSphere DataPower appliance manager provides a set of capabilities for managing DataPower appliances. Use the commands and parameters in the dpManagerCommands group to query, configure, and administer the DataPower appliance manager.

IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances are purpose-built, easy-to-deploy network devices that simplify, help secure, and accelerate the XML and web services deployments. The first time you use DataPower appliance manager, no appliances, managed sets, or firmware versions exist. Create appliances, add firmware versions, and create managed sets.

Before beginning, verify that each appliance to manage has a 3.6.0.4 or higher level of firmware. Additionally, verify that the Appliance Management Protocol (AMP) endpoint is enabled for each appliance. If the XML Management interface AMP endpoint was disabled during installation, use the DataPower WebGUI to enable the AMP endpoint.

The DataPower Web GUI is different from the DataPower appliance manager in the console.
