Specify configuration objects with scripting and wsadmin.

To manage an existing configuration object, identify the configuration object and obtain a configuration ID of the object to use for subsequent manipulation.

Obtain the configuration ID in one of the following ways:

• Obtain the ID of the configuration object with the getid command...
  • Jacl...

    set var [$AdminConfig getid /type:name/]

  • Jython...

    var = AdminConfig.getid('/type:name/')

  We can specify multiple /type:name/ value pairs in the string, for example...

  /type:name/type:name/type:name/

  If we specify the type in the containment path without the name, include the colon, for example...

  /type:name/type:name/type:/

  The containment path must be a path that contains the correct hierarchical order. For example, if we specify...

  /Server:server1/Node:node/

  ...as the containment path, you do not receive a valid configuration ID because Node is a parent of Server and comes before Server in the hierarchy.

  This command returns all the configuration IDs that match the representation of the containment and assigns them to a variable.

  To look for all the server configuration IDs in the mynode node...

  • Jacl...

    set nodeServers [$AdminConfig getid /Node:mynode/Server:/]

  • Jython...

    nodeServers = AdminConfig.getid('/Node:mynode/Server:/')

  To look for the server1 configuration ID in mynode...

  • Jacl...

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

  • Jython...

    server1 = AdminConfig.getid('/Node:mynode/Server:server1/')

  To look for all the server configuration IDs...

  • Jacl...

    set servers [$AdminConfig getid /Server:/]

  • Jython...

    servers = AdminConfig.getid('/Server:/')

• Obtain the ID of the configuration object with the list command...
  • Jacl...

    set var [$AdminConfig list type]

    or

    set var [$AdminConfig list type scopeId]

  • Jython...

    var = AdminConfig.list('type')

    or

    var = AdminConfig.list('type', 'scopeId')

  This command returns a list of configuration object IDs of a given type. If specify the scopeId value, the list of objects is returned within the specified scope. The returned list is assigned to a variable.

  To look for all the server configuration IDs...

  • Jacl...

    set servers [$AdminConfig list Server]

  • Jython...

    servers = AdminConfig.list('Server')

  To look for all the server configuration IDs in the mynode node...

  • Jacl...

    set scopeid [$AdminConfig getid /Node:mynode/]
    set nodeServers [$AdminConfig list Server $scopeid]

  • Jython...

    scopeid = AdminConfig.getid('/Node:mynode/')
    nodeServers = AdminConfig.list('Server', scopeid)

If more than one configuration ID is returned from the getid or the list command, the IDs are returned in a list syntax. One way to retrieve a single element from the list is to use the lindex command.

The following example retrieves the first configuration ID from the server object list:

• Jacl...

  set allServers [$AdminConfig getid /Server:/]
  set aServer [lindex $allServers 0]

• Jython...

  allServers = AdminConfig.getid('/Server:/')
  
  # get line separator
  import java
  lineSeparator = java.lang.System.getProperty('line.separator')
  
  arrayAllServers = allServers.split(lineSeparator)
  aServer = arrayAllServers[0]

We can now use the configuration ID in any subsequent AdminConfig commands that require a configuration ID as a parameter.
