Example: Creating new virtual hosts using a template

Some configuration object types have templates that you can use when you create a virtual host.

• Create a new virtual host template virtualhostname.xml in the following directory:

  <WAS-ROOT>\config\templetes\custom\

  • Copy and paste the following file into the new virtual host template:

    <WAS-ROOT>\config\templetes\default\virtualhosts.xml

  • Edit and customize the new virtualhostname.xml file.

• Use the reset command to recognize new templates, for example:

  $AdminConfig reset

• Use the AdminConfig object listTemplates command to list available templates, for example:

  $AdminConfig listTemplates VirtualHost

  Example output:

  default_host(templates/default:virtualhosts.xml#VirtualHost_1)
  my_host(templates/default:virtualhosts.xml#VirtualHost_1)

  Note: To list the new templates, restart DeploymentManager or use the AdminConfig object reset command.

• Create a new virtual host using the custom template, for example:

  set cell [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:NetworkDeploymentCell/]
  set vtempl [$AdminConfig listTemplates VirtualHost my_host]
  $AdminConfig createUsingTemplate VirtualHost $cell {{name newVirHost}} $vtempl

• Save the changes with the following command:

  $AdminConfig save

  Note: The administrative console does not support the use of custom templates. The new template that you create will not be visible in the administrative console panels.
