Commands
Use the AdminTask object to run administrative commands with wsadmin.sh.
Administrative commands are loaded dynamically when you start wsadmin.sh.
We can start the scripting client without having a server running using the -conntype NONE option with wsadmin.sh. The AdminTask administrative commands are available in both connected and local modes. If a server is currently running, it is not recommended to run the AdminTask commands in local mode because any configuration changes made in local mode are not reflected in the running server configuration and vice versa. If we save a conflicting configuration, we can corrupt the configuration.
In a deployment manager environment, configuration updates are available only if a scripting client is connected to a deployment manager. When connected to a node agent or a managed application server, we cannot update the configuration because the configuration for these server processes are copies of the master configuration, which resides in the deployment manager. The copies are created on a node machine when a configuration synchronization occurs between the deployment manager and the node agent. Make configuration changes to the server processes by connecting a scripting client to a deployment manager. To change a configuration, do not run a scripting client in local mode on a node machine because this is not supported.
Configuration note: With the Jacl scripting language, the subst command enables you to substitute a previously set value for a variable in the command. For example:
set nodeparm "node1"
$AdminTask setJVMMaxHeapSize [subst {-serverName server1 -nodeName $nodeparm -maximumHeapSize 100}]
The following AdminTask commands are available but do not belong to a group:
createTCPEndPoint
The createTCPEndPoint command creates a new endpoint that we can associate with a TCP inbound channel.

- -name
- Name for the new endpoint. (String, required)
- -host
- Host for the new endpoint. (String, required)

Sample output The command returns general command information .
Examples
Batch mode example:
The following command examples return general help information :

$AdminTask help
- Jython:
print AdminTask.help()
The following command examples display each command :
- Jacl:
$AdminTask help -commands
- Jython:
print AdminTask.help('-commands')

updateAppOnCluster
The updateAppOnCluster command can be used to synchronize nodes and restart cluster members for an application update that is deployed to a cluster. After an application update, this command can be used to synchronize the nodes without stopping all the cluster members on all the nodes at one time. This command synchronizes one node at a time. Each node is synchronized by stopping the cluster members on which the application is targeted, performing a node synchronization operation, and restarting the cluster members.
This command might take more time than the default connector timeout period, depending on the number of nodes that the target cluster spans. Be sure to set proper timeout values in the soap.client.props file in the profile_root/properties directory, when a SOAP connector is used; in the sas.client.props file, when a JSR160RMI connector or an RMI connector is used; and in the ipc.client.props file when an IPC connector is used.
This command is not supported in local mode.
Target object None.
Required parameters
- -ApplicationNames
- Names of the applications that are updated. (String, required)
Optional parameters
- -timeout
- Timeout value in seconds for each node synchronization. The default is 300 seconds. (Integer, optional)
Sample output The command does not return output.
Examples
Batch mode example:
- Jacl:
$AdminTask updateAppOnCluster {-ApplicationNames app1}
$AdminTask updateAppOnCluster {-ApplicationNames app1 -timeout 600}
- Jython string...
AdminTask.updateAppOnCluster('[-ApplicationNames app1]')
AdminTask.updateAppOnCluster('[-ApplicationNames app1 -timeout 600]')
- Jython list:
AdminTask.updateAppOnCluster(['-ApplicationNames', 'app1'])
AdminTask.updateAppOnCluster(['-ApplicationNames', 'app1', '-timeout', '600'])
Interactive mode:
- Jacl:
$AdminTask updateAppOnCluster -interactive
- Jython:
AdminTask.updateAppOnCluster('-interactive')
