Save configuration changes with wsadmin
Use wsadmin and scripting to save configuration changes to the master configuration repository.
The wsadmin tool uses the workspace to hold configuration changes. Save your changes to transfer the updates to the master configuration repository. If a scripting process ends and we have not saved your changes, the changes are discarded.
Use the following commands to save the configuration changes:
- Jacl:
- $AdminConfig save
- Using Jython:
- AdminConfig.save()
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| $ | is a Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value |
| AdminConfig | is an object representing the product configuration |
| save | is an AdminConfig command |
If we are using interactive mode with wsadmin, you will be prompted to save your changes before they are discarded.
If we are using the -c option with wsadmin, changes are automatically saved.
If you invoke a command that includes a dollar sign character ($) using the wsadmin -c option, the command line attempts to substitute a variable.
To avoid this problem, escape the dollar sign character with a backslash
character (\). For example: wsadmin -c "\$AdminConfig
save".
If a scripting process ends and no save has been performed, any configuration changes made since the last save are discarded. If there are multiple clients (scripts or browser clients) updating the configuration at the same time, it is possible the changes requested by a script may not be saved. If this happens, you will receive an exception and you must make the updates again. If the save fails, the updates will not be saved to the configuration. If it succeeds, all updates are saved. To avoid save failures, we can invoke the save command after every configuration update.
We can use the reset command of the AdminConfig object to undo changes made to your configuration since your last save.
