Performing operations on running objects using the wsadmin tool

 

Procedure

1. Start wsadmin

2. Obtain the object name of the running object. For example:

   • Jacl

     $AdminControl completeObjectName name
     

   • Jython

     AdminControl.completeObjectName(name)
     

   where:

   $	is a Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
   AdminControl	is an object that enables the manipulation of MBeans running in a WAS process
   completeObjectName	is an AdminControl command
   name	is a fragment of the object name. It is used to find the matching object name. For example: type=Server,name=serv1,*. It can be any valid combination of domain and key properties. For example, type, name, cell, node, process, etc.

3. Set the s1 variable to the running object, for example:

   • Jacl

     set s1 [$AdminControl completeObjectName type=Server,name=server1,*]
     

   • Jython

     s1 = AdminControl.completeObjectName('type=Server,name=server1,*')
     

   where:

   set	is a Jacl command
   s1	is a variable name
   $	is a Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
   AdminControl	is an object that enables the manipulation of MBeans running in a WAS process
   completeObjectName	is an AdminControl command
   type	is the object name property key
   Server	is the name of the object
   name	is the object name property key
   server1	is the name of the server where the operation is invoked

4. Invoke the operation. For example:

   • Jacl

     $AdminControl invoke $s1 stop
     

   • Jython

     AdminControl.invoke(s1, 'stop')
     

   where:

   $	is a Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
   AdminControl	is an object that enables the manipulation of MBeans running in a WAS process
   invoke	is an AdminControl command
   s1	is the ID of the server that is specified in step number 3
   stop	is an operation to invoke on the server

 

Example

• Jacl

  set traceServ [$AdminControl completeObjectName type=TraceService,process=server1,*]
  $AdminControl invoke $traceServ appendTraceString "com.ibm.ws.management.*=all=enabled"
  
  

• Jython

  traceServ = AdminControl.completeObjectName('type=TraceService,process=server1,*')
  AdminControl.invoke(traceServ, 'appendTraceString',  "com.ibm.ws.management.*=all=enabled")
