Remove configuration objects with wsadmin.sh

Use this task to delete a configuration object from the configuration repository. This action only affects the configuration.

If a running instance of a configuration object exists when you remove the configuration, the change has no effect on the running instance.

1. Start the wsadmin scripting tool.
   

2. Assign the ID string identifying server to remove:

   Jacl:

   set s1 [$AdminConfig getid /Node:mynode/Server:myserver/]

   Using Jython:

   s1 = AdminConfig.getid('/Node:mynode/Server:myserver/')

   Element	Description
   set	is a Jacl command
   s1	is a variable name
   $	is a Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
   AdminConfig	is an object that represents the WAS configuration
   getid	is an AdminConfig command
   Node	is an object type
   mynode	is the host name of the node from which the server is removed
   Server	is an object type
   myserver	is the name of the server to remove

3. Remove the configuration object. For example:

   • Jacl:

     $AdminConfig remove $s1

   • Jython:

     AdminConfig.remove(s1)

   Element	Description
   $	is a Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
   AdminConfig	is an object that represents the WAS configuration
   remove	is an AdminConfig command
   s1	evaluates the ID of the server specified in step number 2

4. Save the configuration changes.

   Use the following command example to save the configuration changes:

   AdminConfig.save()

5. In a network deployment environment only, synchronize the node.

   Use the syncActiveNode or syncNode scripts in the AdminNodeManagement script library to propagate the configuration changes to node or nodes.

   • Use the syncActiveNodes script to propagate the changes to each node in the cell:
     AdminNodeManagement.syncActiveNodes()

   • Use the syncNode script to propagate the changes to a specific node:
     AdminNodeManagement.syncNode("myNode")

Results

The application server configuration no longer contains a specific server object. Running servers are not affected.
