Configure an ORB service using scripting

Before starting this task, the wsadmin tool must be running. See the Starting the wsadmin scripting client article for more information.

Perform the following steps to modify the Object Request Broker (ORB) service for an application server:

1. Identify the application server and assign it to the server variable:

   • Using Jacl:

     set s1 [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/Server:server1/]

   • Using Jython:

     s1 = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/Server:server1/')
     print s1 

   where:

   set	is a Jacl command
   s1	is a variable name
   $	is a Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
   AdminConfig	is an object representing the WebSphere Application Server configuration
   getid	is an AdminConfig command
   Cell	is the object type
   mycell	is the name of the object that will be modified
   Node	is the object type
   mynode	is the name of the object that will be modified
   Server	is the object type
   server1	is the name of the object that will be modified
   print	a Jython command

   Example output:

   server1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode/servers/server1|server.xml#Server_1)

2. Identify the ORB belonging to the server and assign it to the orb variable:

   • Using Jacl:

     set orb [$AdminConfig list ObjectRequestBroker $s1]

   • Using Jython:

     orb = AdminConfig.list('ObjectRequestBroker', s1)
     print orb

   where:

   set	is a Jacl command
   orb	is a variable name
   $	is a Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
   AdminConfig	is an object representing the WebSphere Application Server configuration
   list	is an AdminConfig command
   ObjectRequestBroker	is an AdminConfig object
   s1	evaluates to the ID of server specified in step number 1
   print	a Jython command

   Example output:

   (cells/mycell/nodes/mynode/servers/server1|server.xml#ObjectRequestBroker_1)

3. Modify the attributes. The following example modifies the connection cache maximum and pass by value attributes. You can modify the example to change the value of other attributes.

   • Using Jacl:

     $AdminConfig modify $orb {{connectionCacheMaximum 252} {noLocalCopies true}}

   • Using Jython:

     AdminConfig.modify(orb, [['connectionCacheMaximum', 252], ['noLocalCopies',  'true']])

   where:

   $	is a Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
   AdminConfig	is an object representing the WebSphere Application Server configuration
   modify	is an AdminConfig command
   orb	evaluates to the ID of ORB specified in step number 2
   connectionCacheMaximum	is an attribute
   252	is the value of the connectionCacheMaximum attribute
   noLocalCopies	is an attribute
   true	is the value of the noLocalCopies attribute

4. Save the configuration changes. See the Saving configuration changes with the wsadmin tool article for more information.

5. In a network deployment environment only, synchronize the node. See the Synchronizing nodes with the wsadmin tool article for more information.
