Disabling services using scripting

 

You can disable the services of a configured server with scripting and the wsadmin tool. Before starting this task, the wsadmin tool must be running. See the Start the wsadmin scripting client article for more information.

 

Overview

Perform the following steps to disable the trace service of a configured server. You can modify this example to disable a different service.

 

Procedure

1. Identify the server and assign it to the server variable. For example:

   Use Jacl:

   set server [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/Server:server1/]
   

   • Use Jython:

     server = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/Server:server1/') print server
     

   Example output:

   server1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode/servers/server1|server.xml#Server_1)
   

2. List all the services belonging to the server and assign them to the services variable. The following example returns a list of services:

   Use Jacl:

   set services [$AdminConfig list Service $server]
   

   • Use Jython:

     services = AdminConfig.list('Service', server) print services
     

   Example output:

   (cells/mycell/nodes/mynode/servers/server1|server.xml#AdminService_1) (cells/mycell/nodes/mynode/servers/server1|server.xml#DynamicCache_1) (cells/mycell/nodes/mynode/servers/server1|server.xml#MessageListenerService_1) (cells/mycell/nodes/mynode/servers/server1|server.xml#ObjectRequestBroker_1) (cells/mycell/nodes/mynode/servers/server1|server.xml#PMIService_1) (cells/mycell/nodes/mynode/servers/server1|server.xml#RASLoggingService_1) (cells/mycell/nodes/mynode/servers/server1|server.xml#SessionManager_1) (cells/mycell/nodes/mynode/servers/server1|server.xml#TraceService_1) (cells/mycell/nodes/mynode/servers/server1|server.xml#TransactionService_1)
   

3. Identify the trace service and assign it to the traceService variable.

   Since trace service is the 7th element in the list, retrieve this element by using index 6.

   Use Jacl:

   set traceService [$AdminConfig list TraceService $server]
   

   • Use Jython:

     traceService = AdminConfig.list('TraceService', server) print traceService
     

   Example output:

   (cells/mycell/nodes/mynode/servers/server1|server.xml#TraceService_1)
   

4. Disable the trace service by modifying the enable attribute. For example:

   Use Jacl:

   $AdminConfig modify $traceService {{enable false}}
   

   • Use Jython:

     AdminConfig.modify(traceService, [['enable', 'false']])
     

5. Save the configuration changes. See the Saving configuration changes with the wsadmin tool article for more information.

6. In a network deployment environment only, synchronize the node. See the Synchronizing nodes with the wsadmin tool article for more information.
