Example: Migrating - Allowing configuration overwrite when saving a configuration

The following examples demonstrate how to enable configuration overwrite in network deployment for WebSphere Application Server V5.x and V6.x:

• wsadmin V5.x Using Jacl:

  $AdminConfig setSaveMode overwriteOnConflict

  Using Jython:

  AdminConfig.setSaveMode('overwriteOnConflict')

• wsadmin V6.x

  1. Enable configuration repository to allow configuration overwrite:Using Jacl:

     set s1AdminService [$AdminConfig getid /Server:dmgr/AdminService:/]
     
     set configRepository [$AdminConfig showAttribute $s1AdminService configRepository]
     set props [$AdminConfig showAttribute $configRepository properties]
     set foundAllowConfigOverwrites ""
     if {$props != "{}"} {
      foreach prop $props {
       if {[$AdminConfig showAttribute $prop name] == "allowConfigOverwrites"} {
        set foundAllowConfigOverwrites $prop    break   }
      }
     }
     
     if {$foundAllowConfigOverwrites == ""} {
      $AdminConfig create Property $configRepository {{name allowConfigOverwrites} {value true}}
     } else {
      $AdminConfig modify $foundAllowConfigOverwrites {{value true}}
     }
     
     $AdminConfig save

     Using Jython:

     s1AdminService = AdminConfig.getid('/Server:dmgr/AdminService:/')
     configRepository = AdminConfig.showAttribute(s1AdminService, 'configRepository')
     props = AdminConfig.showAttribute(configRepository, 'properties')
     foundAllowConfigOverwrites = ''
     if props != '[]':
      properties = props[1:len(props)-1].split(' ')
      for prop in properties:
       name = AdminConfig.showAttribute(prop, 'name')
       if name == 'allowConfigOverwrites':
        foundAllowConfigOverwrites = prop    break 
     if len(foundAllowConfigOverwrites) != 0:
      AdminConfig.modify(foundAllowConfigOverwrites, [['value', 'true']])
     else:
      AdminConfig.create('Property', configRepository, [['name', 'allowConfigOverwrites'], ['value', 'true']])
     
     AdminConfig.save()

  2. Restart the deployment manager. From the bin directory of the deployment manager profile, run the following:On Windows platforms:

     stopManager 
     startManager

     On Unix platforms:

     ./stopManager.sh ./startManager.sh 

  3. Allow configuration overwrite, for example:Using Jacl:

     $AdminConfig setSaveMode overwriteOnConflict

     Using Jython:

     AdminConfig.setSaveMode('overwriteOnConflict')
