server task server sync

The server task server sync command synchronizes configuration data between two WebSEAL servers by using the ISAM server task framework.

Requires authentication (administrator ID and password) to use. The two WebSEAL servers must be of the same type. The WebSEAL server type is either a:

• WebSEAL running on an appliance.

• WebSEAL running on a standard operating system.

server task webseal_server server sync server_name

Options

webseal_server

Fully qualified server name of the installed WebSEAL instance. The webseal_server is the target.

server_name

Name of the WebSEAL server from which data is extracted. Configuration data on the host system is backed up and then synchronized with this data. The server_name is the source.

Authorization

Users and groups that require access to this command must be given the s (administration) permission in the ACL that governs the /WebSEAL/host_name-instance_name object. The sec_master administrative user has permission by default.

Return codes

0

The command that completed successfully. For WebSEAL server task commands, the return code is 0 when the command is sent to the WebSEAL server without errors. Even if the command is successfully sent, the WebSEAL server might not be able to successfully complete the command and can return an error message.

1

The command failed. When a command fails, the pdadmin command provides a description of the error and an error status code in hexadecimal format (for example, 0x14c012f2). See "Error messages" in the IBM Knowledge Center which provides a list of the ISAM error messages by decimal or hexadecimal codes.

Examples

The following example synchronizes configuration data with server master-webseald-abc.ibm.com:

pdadmin> server task default-webseald-abc.ibm.com server sync master-webseald-abc.ibm.com
