Listing attributes of configuration objects using wsdmin.sh

We can use scripting to generate a list of attributes of configuration objects.

Before starting this task, wsadmin.sh must be running. See the topic on starting wsadmin.

Run an AdminConfig command to create a list of attributes of configuration objects.

1. List the attributes of a given configuration object type, using the attributes command, for example:

   • Jacl:

     $AdminConfig attributes type

   • Jython:

     AdminConfig.attributes('type')

   Element	Description
   $	is a Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
   AdminConfig	is an object that represents the product configuration
   attributes	is an AdminConfig command
   type	is an object type

   This command returns a list of attributes and its data type.

   To get a list of attributes for the JDBCProvider type, use the following example command:

   • Jacl:

     $AdminConfig attributes JDBCProvider

   • Jython:

     AdminConfig.attributes('JDBCProvider')

2. List the required attributes of a given configuration object type, using the required command, for example:

   • Jacl:

     $AdminConfig required type

   • Jython:

     AdminConfig. required('type')

   Element	Description
   $	is a Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
   AdminConfig	is an object that represents the product configuration
   required	is an AdminConfig command
   type	is an object type

   This command returns a list of required attributes.

   To get a list of required attributes for the JDBCProvider type, use the following example command:

   • Jacl:

     $AdminConfig required JDBCProvider

   • Jython:

     AdminConfig. required('JDBCProvider')

3. List attributes with defaults of a given configuration object type, using the defaults command, for example:

   • Jacl:

     $AdminConfig defaults type

   • Jython:

     AdminConfig.defaults('type')

   Element	Description
   $	is a Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
   AdminConfig	is an object that represents the product configuration
   defaults	is an AdminConfig command
   type	is an object type

   This command returns a list of all the attributes, types, and defaults.

   To get a list of attributes with the defaults displayed for the JDBCProvider type, use the following example command:

   • Jacl:

     $AdminConfig defaults JDBCProvider

   • Jython:

     AdminConfig.defaults('JDBCProvider')
