Starting business-level applications using scripting

We can use the wsadmin tool and the BLAManagement command group to start business-level applications.

There are two ways to complete this task. Use the BLAManagement .or the scripts in the AdminBLA script library to start a business-level applications.

Tasks

• Use the AdminTask object commands to start business-level applications.

  1. Start the wsadmin scripting tool.
  2. List the business-level applications in ythe environment.

     Use the listBLAs command to display a list of business-level applications in ythe environment:

     AdminTask.listBLAs()
     

     We can optionally specify the partial name of the business-level application of interest to display the configuration ID of the business-level application. The command accepts a partial business-level application name if the system matches the specified name to a unique configuration ID. Use the following example to set the configuration ID of the myBLA business-level application to the blaID variable:

     myBLA=AdminTask.listBLAs('-blaID BLA1')
     

  3. Determine the status of the business-level application.

     Use the getBLAStatus command to display the status of the business-level application of interest:

     AdminTask.getBLAStatus('-blaID myBLA')
     

     The command returns the status of the business-level application as STOPPED or STARTED.

  4. Start the business-level application.

     Use the startBLA command to start the business-level application:

     AdminTask.startBLA('-blaID myBLA')
     

     The command returns the following message if the system successfully starts the business-level application:

     BLA ID of started BLA if the BLA was not already running.
     

• Use the Jython script library to start business-level applications.

  1. Start the wsadmin scripting tool.
  2. List the business-level applications in ythe environment.

     Use the listBLAs script to display a list of business-level applications in ythe environment, using the following syntax:

     AdminBLA.listBLAs(blaName, displayDescription)
     

     We can specify one, both, or neither the blaName and displayDescription arguments. Use the blaName argument to specify the name of a specific business-level application, and the displayDescription argument to specify whether to display the description of each returned business-level application. Specify an empty string in place of arguments that we do not want to specify:

     AdminBLA.listBLAs("", "true")
     

  3. Start the business-level application.

     Use the startBLA script to start the business-level application, using the following syntax:

     AdminBLA.startBLA(blaName)
     

     Use the blaName argument to specify the name of the business-level application to start:

     AdminBLA.startBLA("myBLA")
