Stopping applications with scripting

Use wsadmin to stop applications.

There are two ways to complete this task. The example in this topic uses AdminControl to stop the application. Alternatively, we can use the scripts in the AdminApplication script library to start, stop, and administer the application configurations.

 

1. Launch the wsadmin scripting tool using the Jython scripting language.

2. Identify the application manager MBean for the server where the application resides, and assign it to the appManager variable.
   • Jacl...

     set appManager [$AdminControl queryNames cell=mycell,node=mynode,type=
     ApplicationManager,process=server1,*]
     

   • Jython...

     appManager = AdminControl.queryNames('cell=mycell,node=mynode,type=
     ApplicationManager,process=server1,*') print appManager
     

   
   

   Table 1. queryNames command elements

   set	Jacl command
   appManager	variable name
   $	Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
   AdminControl	object that enables the manipulation of MBeans running in a WebSphere server process
   queryNames	AdminControl command
   cell=mycell,node=mynode,type= ApplicationManager,process=server1	is the hierarchical containment path of the configuration object
   print	Jython command

   This command returns the application manager MBean. Example output:

   WebSphere:cell=mycell,name=ApplicationManager,mbeanIdentifier=ApplicationManager, type=ApplicationManager,node=mynode,process=server1
   

3. Query the running applications belonging to this server and assign the result to the apps variable.
   • Jacl...

     set apps [$AdminControl queryNames cell=mycell,node=mynode,type=Application, process=server1,*]
     

   • Jython...

     # get line separator  import  java.lang.System  as sys lineSeparator = sys.getProperty('line.separator')
      apps = AdminControl.queryNames('cell=mycell,node=mynode,type=Application, process=server1,*').split(lineSeparator) print apps
     

   
   

   Table 2. queryNames command elements

   set	Jacl command
   apps	variable name
   $	Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
   AdminControl	object that enables the manipulation of MBeans running in a WebSphere server process
   queryNames	AdminControl command
   cell=mycell,node=mynode,type= ApplicationManager,process=server1	is the hierarchical containment path of the configuration object
   print	Jython command

   This command returns a list of application MBeans. Example output:

   WebSphere:cell=mycell,name=adminconsole,mbeanIdentifier=deployment.xml
   #ApplicationDeployment_1,type=Application,node=mynode,Server=server1, process=server1,J2EEName=adminconsole WebSphere:cell=mycell,name=filetransfer,mbeanIdentifier=deployment.xml
   #ApplicationDeployment_1,type=Application,node=mynode,Server=server1, process=server1,J2EEName=filetransfer
   

4. Stop all the running applications.
   • Jacl...

     foreach app $apps {
          set appName [$AdminControl getAttribute $app name]
          $AdminControl invoke $appManager stopApplication $appName}
     
     

   • Jython...

     for app in apps:
         appName = AdminControl.getAttribute(app, 'name')
         AdminControl.invoke(appManager, 'stopApplication', appName)
     

   This command stops all the running applications by invoking the stopApplication operation on the MBean, passing in the application name to stop.

 

Results

Once you complete the steps for this task, all running applications on the server are stopped.
