Deploying and managing using scripting

Overview

Scripting is a non-graphical alternative that you can use to configure and manage the WebSphere Application Server. The WebSphere Application Server wsadmin tool provides the ability to execute scripts. The wsadmin tool supports a full range of product administrative activities.

To deploy and manage applications, you can also use the administrative console, which runs in the deployment manager for the cell. For more information about using the administrative console, see Deploying and managing with the GUI. There are also several command-line tools that you can use to start, stop, and monitor WebSphere Application Server processes and nodes. These tools only work on local servers and nodes. They cannot operate on a remote server or node. See Managing using command-line tools for more information.

1. Launch a scripting client interactively, as an individual command, in a script, or in a profile.

   • Install applications into runtime.
