Creating a server using scripting

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

Creating an application server involves a configuration command. Perform the following steps to create a server:

1. Obtain the configuration ID of the object and assign it to the node variable, for example:

   Using Jacl:

   set node [$AdminConfig getid /Node:mynode/]

   Using Jython:

   node = AdminConfig.getid('/Node:mynode/')

2. Create the server using the node that you specified in the first step:

   Using Jacl:

   $AdminConfig create Server $node {{name myserv} {outputStreamRedirect {{fileName myfile.out}}}}

   Using Jython:

   AdminConfig.create('Server', node, [['name', 'myserv'], ['outputStreamRedirect', [['fileName', 'myfile.out']]]])
   

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

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