Removing configuration objects with the wsadmin tool

Overview

Use this task to delete a configuration object from the configuration repository. This action only affects the configuration. If there is a running instance of a configuration object when you remove the configuration, the change has no effect on the running instance.

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

2. Assign the ID string that identifies the server you want to remove:

   Using Jacl:

   set s1 [$AdminConfig getid /Node:mynode/Server:myserver/]

   Using Jython:

   s1 = AdminConfig.getid('/Node:mynode/Server:myserver/')

   where:

   set	is a Jacl command
   s1	is a variable name
   $	is a Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
   AdminConfig	is an object representing the WebSphere Application Server configuration
   getid	is an AdminConfig command
   Node	is an object type
   mynode	is the host name of the node from which the server is removed
   Server	is an object type
   myserver	is the name of the server to remove

   
   
   

3. Issue the following command:

   Using Jacl:

   $AdminConfig remove $s1

   Using Jython:

   AdminConfig.remove(s1)

   where:

   $	is a Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
   AdminConfig	is an object representing the WebSphere Application Server configuration
   remove	is an AdminConfig command
   s1	evaluates the ID of the server specified in step number 2

   
   
   

4. Save the configuration changes with the following command:

   Using Jacl:

   $AdminConfig save

   Using Jython:

   AdminConfig.save()

   Use the reset command of the AdminConfig object to undo changes that you made to your workspace since your last save.

 

Results

The WebSphere Application Server configuration no longer contains a specific server object. Running servers are not affected.
