Manage generic servers using scripting

Use WebSphere Application Server to define, start, stop, and monitor generic servers.

A generic server is a server that the WAS manages but did not supply.

Tasks

• To define a generic server, use the following example:
  • Jacl:

    $AdminTask createGenericServer mynode {-name generic1 -ConfigProcDef 
    {{"/usr/bin/myStartCommand" "arg1 arg2" "" "" "/tmp/workingDirectory" 
    "/tmp/stopCommand" "argy argz"}}}
    $AdminConfig save
    

    (iSeries)

    $AdminTask createGenericServer mynode {-name generic1 -ConfigProcDef 
    {{"/mydir1/myStartCommand" "arg1 arg2" "" "" "/tmp/workingDirectory" 
    "/mydir2/stopCommand" "argy argz"}}}
    $AdminConfig save
    

  • Jython:

    (Dist)

    AdminTask.createGenericServer('mynode', '[-name generic1 -ConfigProcDef 
    [[c:/tmp/myStartCommand.exe "a b c" "" "" C:/tmp/myStopCommand "x y z"]]]')
    AdminConfig.save()
    

    (ZOS)

    AdminTask.createGenericServer('mynode', '[-name generic1 -ConfigProcDef 
    [[/tmp/myStartCommand.exe "a b c" "" "" /tmp/myStopCommand "x y z"]]]')
    AdminConfig.save()
    

    (iSeries)

    AdminTask.createGenericServer('mynode', '[-name generic1 -ConfigProcDef 
    [[/mydir1/myStartCommand "a b c" "" "" /tmp/workingDirectory 
    /mydir2/myStopCommand "x y z"]]]')
    AdminConfig.save()
    

• To start a generic server, use the launchProcess parameter, for example:
  • Jacl:

    set nodeagent [$AdminControl queryNames *:*,type=NodeAgent]
    $AdminControl invoke $nodeagent launchProcess generic1
    

  • Jython:

    nodeagent = AdminControl.queryNames ('*:*,type=NodeAgent')
    AdminControl.invoke(nodeagent, 'launchProcess', 'generic1')
    

  Example output:

  true
  

  or

  false
  

• To stop a generic server, use the terminate parameter, for example:
  • Jacl:

    set nodeagent [$AdminControl queryNames *:*,type=NodeAgent]
    $AdminControl invoke $nodeagent terminate generic1
    

  • Jython:

    nodeagent = AdminControl.queryNames ('*:*,type=NodeAgent')
    AdminControl.invoke(nodeagent, 'terminate', 'generic1')
    

  Example output:

  true
  

  or

  false
  

• To monitor the server state, use the getProcessStatus parameter, for example:
  • Jacl:

    $AdminControl invoke $nodeagent getProcessStatus generic1
    

    Use Jython:

    AdminControl.invoke(nodeagent, 'getProcessStatus', 'generic1')
    

  Example output:

  RUNNING
  

  or

  STOPPED
