WAS v8.5 > Script the application serving environment (wsadmin) > Use the Administration Thin Client

Run wsadmin remotely in a Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition environment

The thin administrative client adds JAR files that support administrative client functions that we can use with IBM Developer Kits For the Java Platform. Be aware of the following limitations:

For tracing and logging information for the thin administrative client, see the Enabling trace on client and stand-alone applications article.

  1. Obtain the thin administrative client JAR file and other required files required when security is on from the WebSphere Application Server, Network Deployment installation. Refer to the topic Using the administration thin client for details about the files needed to perform this task.
  2. Generate the wsadmin.sh or the wsadmin.bat file from the server machine.

    An example of wsadmin.bat follows.

  3. Copy the Java directory from the server installation to your thin client environment.
  4. Start wsadmin in a non-OSGi environment. Examples of the wsadmin.bat file and the wsadmin.sh file are as follows:

    Example: wsadmin.bat
