Manage generic servers using scripting

Use WAS to define, start, stop, and monitor generic servers.

Before starting this task, wsadmin must be running. See the Start wsadmin article for more information.

A generic server is a server that the WAS manages but did not supply.

 

• To define a generic server, use the following example:

  • Jacl...

    $AdminTask createGenericServer mynode {-name generic1 -ConfigProcDef {{"/usr/bin/myStartCommand" "arg1 arg2" "" "" "/tmp/workingDirectory" "/tmp/stopCommand" "argy argz"}}} $AdminConfig save

  • Jython...

    AdminTask.createGenericServer('mynode', '[-name generic1 -ConfigProcDef [[c:\tmp\myStartCommand.exe "a b c" "" "" C:\tmp\myStopCommand "x y z"]]]') AdminConfig.save()

• To start a generic server, use the launchProcess parameter...
  • Jacl...

    set nodeagent [$AdminControl queryNames *:*,type=NodeAgent] $AdminControl invoke $nodeagent launchProcess generic1

  • Jython...

    nodeagent = AdminControl.queryNames ('*:*,type=NodeAgent') AdminControl.invoke(nodeagent, 'launchProcess', 'generic1')

  For example...

  true

  or

  false

• To stop a generic server, use the terminate parameter...
  • Jacl...

    set nodeagent [$AdminControl queryNames *:*,type=NodeAgent] $AdminControl invoke $nodeagent terminate generic1

  • Jython...

    nodeagent = AdminControl.queryNames ('*:*,type=NodeAgent') AdminControl.invoke(nodeagent, 'terminate', 'generic1')

  For example...

  true

  or

  false

• To monitor the server state, use the getProcessStatus parameter...
  • Jacl...

    $AdminControl invoke $nodeagent getProcessStatus generic1

    Jython...

    AdminControl.invoke(nodeagent, 'getProcessStatus', 'generic1')

  For example...

  RUNNING

  or

  STOPPED
