Configure traces using scripting

Use wsadmin and scripting to configure traces for a configured server.

Before starting this task, wsadmin must be running. See the starting the wsadmin scripting client information. Perform the following steps to set the trace for a configured server:

1. Identify the server and assign it to the server variable:

   • Jacl:

     set server [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/Server:server1/]

   • Jython:

     server = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/Server:server1/')
     print server

   Example output:

   server1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode/servers/server1|server.xml#Server_1)

2. Identify the trace service belonging to the server and assign it to the tc variable:

   • Jacl:

     set tc [$AdminConfig list TraceService $server]

   • Jython:

     tc = AdminConfig.list('TraceService', server)
     print tc

   Example output:

   (cells/mycell/nodes/mynode/servers/server1|server.xml#TraceService_1)

3. Set the trace string. The following example sets the trace string for a single component:

   • Jacl:

     $AdminConfig modify $tc {{startupTraceSpecification 
     com.ibm.websphere.management.*=all=enabled}}

   • Jython:

     AdminConfig.modify(tc, [['startupTraceSpecification',  
     'com.ibm.websphere.management.*=all=enabled']])

4. The following command sets the trace string for multiple components:

   • Jacl:

     $AdminConfig modify $tc {{startupTraceSpecification 
     com.ibm.websphere.management.*=all=enabled:com.ibm.ws.
     management.*=all=enabled:com.ibm.ws.runtime.*=all=enabled}}

   • Jython:

     AdminConfig.modify(tc, [['startupTraceSpecification',  
     'com.ibm.websphere.management.*=all=enabled:com.ibm.ws.
     management.*=all=enabled:com.ibm.ws.runtime.*=all=enabled']])

5. Save the configuration changes. See the saving configuration changes with wsadmin information.
