servicetools command

The servicetools command includes serviceability tools that we can use to troubleshoot WebSphere Application Server.

To run this script, the user profile must have *ALLOBJ authority.

Syntax

The command syntax is as follows:

servicetools [-products product_list]
 [-input input_file] [-output output_file] [-trace]
 [-help]

Parameters

The following options are available for the servicetools command:

-products

This is an optional parameter. The value product_list specifies the list of products for which to run the tools. If we specify multiple products, separate them with a colon (:). Valid products are WAS61Base, WAS61ND, WAS61Express, WAS60Base, WAS60ND, WAS60Express, WAS51Base, WAS51ND, WAS51Express, WAS51PME, WAS51PMEND, WAS50Base, WAS50ND, WAS50Express, WAS40Adv, WAS40AEs, and ALL. If we do not specify this parameter, specify the -products parameter for each tool as appropriate.

Not all tools require specified a product. This parameter applies only to those tools that require specified a product.

-input

This is an optional parameter. The value input_file specifies an alternate XML Configuration file for the service tools. By default, the servicetools script uses the validator.xml file included in the ServiceTools.jar file.

-output

This is an optional parameter. The value output_file specifies a file to which the script writes standard output. If this value is not specified, the script writes the standard output to the display.

-trace

This is an optional parameter. If not specified, the script does not generate trace information.

-help

This optional parameter displays the usage statement for the script.
