Manage Portal Scripting Interface in the cluster

The Portal Scripting Interface enables the creation of administrative tasks that administrators can run from a command line. We must prepare the cluster to manage Portal Scripting Interface.

1. Complete the following steps before we use the Portal Scripting Interface for the first time:

   1. Verify the wp.wire.jar file is present in the APPSERVER_ROOT/lib directory on the deployment manager workstation.

   2. If the file is not present, copy the file from the APPSERVER_ROOT/lib directory on any WebSphere Portal node to the APPSERVER_ROOT/lib directory on the deployment manager workstation.

   3. Restart the deployment manager.

2. To connect the scripting client to the WAS Network Deployment SOAP port:

   Where:

   • ND SOAP Port is the WAS Network Deployment workstation's SOAP connector-address.

     To find the SOAP port, on the WAS console, clickSystem administration > dmgr > Ports > SOAP_CONNECTOR_ADDRESS. For example, if we are running wpscript on a workstation that is part of a cell managed by a deployment manager, the SOAP port might be 8881.

   • user is the WAS administrative user name.

   • password is the administrative user password.
   the WAS Network Deployment SOAP

   Operating system	Task
   Windows	wpscript.bat -port ND SOAP Port -user user -password password
   AIX HP-UXLinuxSolaris	./wpscript.sh -port ND SOAP Port -user user -password password
