Regenerating the node plug-in configuration using scripting

Use scripting and the wsadmin tool to regenerate the node plug-in configuration.

See the Start the wsadmin scripting client article for more information.

Perform the following steps to regenerate the node plug-in configuration:

Tasks

1. Identify the plug-in and assign it to the generator variable, for example:

   Use Jython:

   generator = AdminControl.completeObjectName('type=PluginCfgGenerator,*')
   

   Use Jacl:

   set generator [$AdminControl completeObjectName type=PluginCfgGenerator,*]
   

   Additionally, we can specify the optional node parameter. In a WebSphere Application Server, Network Deployment environment, specify the node name of the deployment manager server.
2. Regenerate the node plug-in for a given web server definition.

   Use Jython:

   AdminControl.invoke(generator, 'generate', " profile_root/config mycell myWebServerNode myWebServerName true true")
   

   Use Jacl:

   $AdminControl invoke $generator generate " profile_root/config mycell myWebServerNode myWebServerName true true"
   

Example

The following application-centric examples use the generate, propagate, and propagateKeyring operations for a given web server definition:

Use Jython:

AdminControl.invoke(generator,'generate'," profile_root/config
01Cell03  01Node03 webserver1 true")

AdminControl.invoke(generator,'propagate'," profile_root/config
01Cell03  01Node03 webserver1")

AdminControl.invoke(generator,'propagateKeyring'," profile_root/config  
01Cell03  01Node03 webserver1"

Use Jacl:

$AdminControl invoke $generator generate " profile_root/config  01Cell03  01Node03 webserver1 true"

$AdminControl invoke $generator propagate  " profile_root/config  01Cell03  01Node03 webserver1"

$AdminControl invoke $generator propagateKeyring " profile_root/config  01Cell03  01Node03 webserver1"

The following information explains the possible parameters that the generate operation accepts:

public void generate(java.lang.String
   configuration_root, java.lang.String myCellName,
 java.lang.String myNodeName, java.lang.String myServerName, java.lang.Boolean
 propagate, java.lang.Boolean propagateKeyring) 

where:

configuration_root

is the root directory path for the configuration repository to be scanned.

If we replace the configuration_root parameter with null, the default configuration root will be used.

myCellName

is the name of the cell in the configuration repository to restrict generation to.

myNodeName

is the name of the node in the configuration repository to restrict generation to.

myServerName

is the name of the server to restrict generation to.

propagate

is a boolean variable that specifies to propagate the configuration file.

propagateKeyring

is a boolean variable that specifies to propagate the keyring file.

The propagateKeyring moves the SSL keyring to the plug-in machine.

The following network-centric example uses the generate operation to generate the plug-in configuration file for the cell:

Use Jython:

AdminControl.invoke(generator,'generate'," profile_root/config 01Cell03 null null plugin-cfg.xml")

Use Jacl:

$AdminControl invoke $generator generate " profile_root/config 01Cell03 null null plugin-cfg.xml"

The following information explains the possible parameters that the generate operation accepts:

public void generate(java.lang.String   app_server_root, java.lang.String 
   configuration_root, java.lang.String myCellName,
 java.lang.String myNodeName, java.lang.String 
 myServerName,java.lang.String myOutputFileName)  

where:

app_server_root

is the root directory for the application server to run the command against.

configuration_root

is the root directory path for the configuration repository to be scanned.

myCellName

is the name of the cell in the configuration repository to restrict generation to.

myNodeName

is the name of the node in the configuration repository to restrict generation to.

myServerName

is the name of the server to restrict generation to.

myOutputFileName

is the path and filename of the generated plug-in configuration file.
