Commands for the AdminControl object using wsadmin.sh

Use the AdminControl object to invoke operational commands that manage objects for the application server.

Many of the AdminControl commands have multiple signatures so that they can either invoke in a raw mode using parameters specified by Java Management Extensions (JMX), or by using strings for parameters. In addition to operational commands, the AdminControl object supports some utility commands for tracing, reconnecting with a server, and converting data types.

The following commands are available for the AdminControl object:

• completeObjectName

• getAttribute

• getAttribute_jmx

• getAttributes

• getAttributes_jmx

• getCell

• getConfigId

• getDefaultDomain

• getDomainName

• getHost

• getMBeanCount

• getMBeanInfo_jmx

• getNode

• getObjectInstance

• getPort

• getPropertiesForDataSource (Deprecated)

• getType

• help

• invoke

• invoke_jmx

• isRegistered

• isRegistered_jmx

• makeObjectName

• queryMBeans

• queryNames

• queryNames_jmx

• reconnect

• setAttribute

• setAttribute_jmx

• setAttributes

• setAttributes_jmx

• startServer

• stopServer

• testConnection

• trace

completeObjectName

Use the completeObjectName command to create a string representation of a complete ObjectName value that is based on a fragment. This command does not communicate with the server to find a matching ObjectName value. If the system finds several MBeans that match the fragment, the command returns the first one.

Target object None.

Required parameters

object name

Name of the object to complete. (ObjectName)

template

Name of the template to use. For example, the template might be type=Server,*. (java.lang.String)

WASX7027I: The AdminControl object enables the manipulation of MBeans that run in a
WAS process. The number and type of MBeans
that are available to the scripting client depend on the server to which the client is connected.
If the client is connected to a dmgr, then all the MBeans running in the Deployment Manager
are visible, as are all the MBeans running in the node agentsthat are connected to this dmgr,  and all the MBeans that run in the application servers on those nodes.

The following commands are supported by the AdminControl object; more detailed information about each of these
commands is available by using the "help" command of the AdminControl object and supplying the name
of the command as an argument.

Many of these commands support two different sets of signatures: one that accepts and returns strings, and one
low-level set that works with JMX objects like ObjectName and AttributeList. In most situations, the string
signatures are likely to be more useful, but JMX-object signature versions are supplied as well.  Each of these
JMX-object signature commands has "_jmx" appended to the command name, so an "invoke" command, as well as a
"invoke_jmx" command are supported.

completeObjectName  Return a String version of an object name given atemplate name getAttribute_jmx   Given ObjectName and name of attribute, returns value ofattribute
getAttribute       Given String version of ObjectName and name of attribute, returns value of attribute getAttributes_jmx   Given ObjectName and array of attribute names, returns AttributeList
getAttributes      Given String version of ObjectName and attribute names, returns String of name pairs
getCell            returns the cell name of the connected server getConfigId        Given String version of ObjectName, return a config id for the corresponding configuration
          object, if any.
getDefaultDomain   returns "WebSphere"
getDomainName      returns "WebSphere"
getHost            returns String representation of connected host getMBeanCount      returns number of registered beans getMBeanInfo_jmx   Given ObjectName, returns MBeanInfo structure for MBean
getNode            returns the node name of the connected server getPort            returns String representation of port in use getType            returns String representation of connection type in use help  help     Show help information invoke_jmx         Given ObjectName, name of command, array of parameters andsignature, invoke command on
          MBean specified invoke             Invoke a command on the specified MBean
isRegistered_jmx   true if supplied ObjectName is registered
isRegistered       true if supplied String version of ObjectName is registered
makeObjectName     Return an ObjectName built with the given string
queryNames_jmx     Given ObjectName and QueryExp, retrieves set of ObjectNames that match.
queryNames         Given String version of ObjectName, retrieves String of ObjectNames that match.
reconnect          reconnects with serversetAttribute_jmx Given ObjectName and Attribute object,
          set attribute for MBean specified setAttribute       Given String version of ObjectName, attribute name andattribute value, set attribute for
          MBean specified setAttributes_jmx   Given ObjectName and AttributeList object, set attributes for the MBean specified startServer        Given the name of a server, start that server.

objNameString = AdminControl.completeObjectName("WebSpheretype=DynaCache,*")
 AdminControl.invoke(dc, "getCacheStatistics", '["DiskCacheSizeInMB ObjectReadFromDisk4000K
 RemoteObjectMisses"]')

• Use Jython list:

  objNameString = AdminControl.completeObjectName("WebSphere:type=DynaCache,*")
  AdminControl.invoke(dc, "getCacheStatistics", [["DiskCacheSizeInMB", "ObjectReadFromDisk4000K",
  "RemoteObjectMisses"]])

• If the scripting process is attached to a node agent server, you must specify the server name. We can also specify the optional wait time and node name parameters.

• If the scripting process is attached to a dmgr process, specify the server name and node name. We can also specify the optional wait time parameter.

Target object None.

Required parameters

server name

Name of the server to start. (java.lang.String)

Optional parameters

node name

Name of the node of interest. (java.lang.String)

wait time

Number of seconds that the start process waits for the server to start. The default wait time is 1200 seconds. (java.lang.String)

Sample output

The command returns a message to indicate if the server starts successfully, as the following example displays:

'[traceSpecification com.ibm.ws.*=all=enabled]'

Examples

### Jacl

• The following example specifies only the name of the server to start:

  $AdminControl startServer server1
  

• The following example specifies the name of the server to start and the wait time:

  $AdminControl startServer server1 100
  

• The following example specifies the name of the server to start and the name of the node:

  $AdminControl startServer server1 myNode
  

• The following example specifies the name of the server, the name of the node, and the wait time:

  $AdminControl startServer server1 myNode 100
  

### Jython

• The following example specifies only the name of the server to start:

  AdminControl.startServer('server1')
  

• The following example specifies the name of the server to start and the wait time:

  AdminControl.startServer('server1', 100)
  

• The following example specifies the name of the server to start and the name of the node:

  AdminControl.startServer('server1', 'myNode')
  

• The following example specifies the name of the server, the name of the node, and the wait time:

  AdminControl.startServer('server1', 'myNode', 100)
  

stopServer

Use the stopServer command to stop the specified application server. When the stopServer command runs without the immediate or terminate flags, the server finishes any work in progress, but does not accept any new work once it begins the stop process. Use the following options to determine which parameters to use:

• Use the server name and the node name parameters to stop a server in a specific node.

• Use the server name and immediate flag parameters to stop the server immediately. If this parameter is not specified, the system stops the server normally.

• Use the server name, node name, and immediate flag parameters to immediately stop a server for a specific node.

An error message is issued if only specify the server name when you attempt to stop that server.

Target object None.

Required parameters

server name

Name of the server to start. (java.lang.String)

Optional parameters

node name

Name of the node of interest. (java.lang.String)

immediate flag

Specifies to stop the server immediately if the value is set to immediate. If you specify the immediate flag, the server does not finish processing any work in progress, does not accept any new work, and ends the server process. (java.lang.String)

terminate flag

Specifies that the server process should be terminated by the operating system. (String)

Sample output

The command returns a message to indicate if the server stops successfully, as the following example displays:

WASX7337I: Invoked stop for server "server1" Waiting for stop completion.
'WASX7264I: Stop completed for server "server1" on node "myNode"'

Examples

### Jacl

• The following example specifies only the name of the server to stop:

  $AdminControl stopServer server1
  

• The following example specifies the name of the server to stop and indicates that the server should stop immediately:

  $AdminControl stopServer server1 immediate
  

• The following example specifies the name of the server to stop and the name of the node:

  $AdminControl stopServer server1 myNode
  

• The following example specifies the name of the server, the name of the node, and indicates that the server should stop immediately:

  $AdminControl stopServer server1 myNode immediate
  

### Jython

• The following example specifies the name of the server to stop and indicates that the server should stop immediately:

  AdminControl.stopServer('server1','immediate')
  

• The following example specifies the name of the server to stop and the name of the node:

  AdminControl.stopServer('server1','myNode')
  

• The following example specifies the name of the server, the name of the node, and indicates that the server should stop immediately:

  AdminControl.stopServer('server1','myNode','immediate')
  

testConnection

Use the testConnection command to test a data source connection. This command works with the data source that resides in the configuration repository. If the data source to be tested is in the temporary workspace that holds the update to the repository, save the update to the configuration repository before running this command. Use this command with the configuration ID that corresponds to the data source and the WAS40DataSource object types.

Target object None.

Required parameters

configuration ID

Configuration ID of the data source object of interest. (java.lang.String)

Optional parameters None.

Sample output

The command returns a message that indicates a successful connection or a connection with a warning. If the connection fails, an exception is created from the server indicating the error. For example:

WASX7217I: Connection to provided datasource was successful.

Examples

### Jacl

set ds [lindex [$AdminConfig list DataSource] 0]
$AdminControl testConnection $ds

### Jython

# get line separator
import java.lang.System as sys
lineSeparator = sys.getProperty('line.separator')
ds = AdminConfig.list('DataSource').split(lineSeparator)[0]
print AdminControl.testConnection(ds)

trace

Use the trace command to set the trace specification for the scripting process to the value that you specify.

Target object None.

Required parameters

trace specification

Trace to enable for the scripting process. (java.lang.String)

Optional parameters None.

Sample output

The command does not return output.

Examples

### Jacl

$AdminControl trace com.ibm.ws.scripting.*=all=enabled

### Jython

print AdminControl.trace('com.ibm.ws.scripting.*=all=enabled')

Use the wsadmin scripting AdminControl object for scripted administration
