Invoking an administrative command in batch mode

 

Use this commands to invoke an administrative command in batch mode.

 

Overview

To invoke an administrative command in interactive mode, see Invoking an administrative command in interactive mode.

 

Procedure

  1. Invoke the AdminTask object commands interactively, in a script, or use the wsadmin -c command from an operating system command prompt.

  2. Issue one of the following commands:

      If an administrative command does not have a target object and an argument, use the following command:

      Use Jacl:

      $AdminTask commandName
      

      Using Jython:

      AdminTask.commandName()
      
      where:

      $ Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
      AdminTask object allowing administrative command management
      commandName name of the administrative command to invoke

      If an administrative command includes a target object but does not include any arguments or steps, use the following command:

      Use Jacl:

      $AdminTask commandName targetObject
      

      Using Jython:

      AdminTask.commandName(targetObject)
      
      where:

      $ Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
      AdminTask object that supports administrative command management
      commandName name of the administrative command to invoke
      targetObject target object string for the invoked administrative command. The expect target object varies with each administrative command. View the online help for the invoked administrative command to learn more about what you should specify as the target object.

      If an administrative command includes an argument or a step but does not include a target object, use the following command:

      Use Jacl:

      $AdminTask commandName options
      

      Using Jython:

      AdminTask.commandName(options)
      
      where:

      $ Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
      AdminTask object that supports administrative command management
      commandName name of the administrative command to invoke
      options option string for the invoked administrative command. Depending on which administrative command you are invoking, the administrative command can have required or optional option values. The options string is different for each administrative command. View the online help for the invoked administrative command to obtain more information about which options are available. Arguments and steps listed on the online administrative command help are specified as options in the option string.

      Each option consists of a dash followed immediately by an option name, and then followed by an option value if the option requires a value. If the invoked administrative command includes target objects, arguments, or steps, then the –interactive option is available to enter interactive mode. For example, using the output of the following online help for the listDataSource command:

      WASX8006I: Detailed help for command: exportServer
      
      Description: export the configuration of a  server to a config archive.
      
      Target object: None
      
      Arguments:
      *serverName - the name of a server
      *nodeName - the name of a node. This parameter  becomes optional if the specified server name  is unique across the cell.
      *archive - the fully qualified file path of  a config archive.
      
      Steps:
      None
      
      

      Option names are specified with a dash before the names. Three options are required for this administrative command. The required options are -serverName, -nodename, and -archive. In addition, the -interactive option is available. Options are specified in the option string, which is enclosed by a pair of braces ({}) in Jacl and a pair of brackets ([]) in Jython.

      If an administrative command includes a target object, and arguments or steps:

      Use Jacl:

      $AdminTask commandName targetObject options
      

      Using Jython:

      AdminTask.commandName(targetObject, options)
      
      where:

      $ Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
      AdminTask object that supports administrative command management
      commandName name of the administrative command to invoke
      targetObject is the target object string for the invoked administrative command. The expected target object varies with each administrative command. View the online help for the invoked administrative command to obtain information about what to specify as a target object. For example, using the output of the following online help for createJ2CConnectionFactory:

      WASX8006I: Detailed help for command: 
      createJ2CConnectionFactory
      
      Description: Create a J2C connection factory  *Target object: The parent J2C resource adapter of  the created J2C connection factory.
      
      Arguments:
      *connectionFactoryInterface - A connection factory  interface that is defined in the deployment  description of the parent J2C resource adapter.
      *name - The name of the J2C connection factory.
      *jndiName - The JNDI name of the created J2C  connection factory. description - The description for the created 
      J2C connection factory. authDataAlias - the authentication data alias of  the created J2C connection factory.
      
      Steps:
      None
      
      The target object is a configuration object name of a J2C resource adapter.
      options option string for the invoked administrative command. Depending on which administrative command you are invoking, the administrative command can have required or optional option values. The options string is different for each administrative command. View the online help for the invoked administrative command to obtain more information about which options are available.
