Configure a web server plug-in using the WCT command-line utility

The WCT command-line utility invokes the command-line tool specified by the -tool parameter. We can use the WCT command-line utility and specify the pct tool to configure a web server to use an application server as a hosting server.

Procedure

Configure a web server to use an application server as a hosting server.

Parameters of the WCT command-line utility

-tool tool_ID

Name of the tool to launch as it is registered with the WCT command-line utility
This parameter is required.

-defLocPathname definition_location_pathname

Absolute path name of the definition location to use when the specified tool is launched
This parameter is required.

-createDefinitionLocation definition_location_name

Specifies that the WCT command-line utility should create a definition location
This parameter is optional.

-importDefinitionLocation definition_location_name

Specifies that the WCT command-line utility should import a definition location
This parameter is optional.

-removeDefinitionLocation definition_location_name

Specifies that the WCT command-line utility should remove a definition location
This parameter is optional.

-defLocName definition_location_name

Name of the definition location as it resides in the definition location registry

-defLocVersion definition_location_version

Version of definition location to create
This parameter is optional.

-response response_file

Response file containing tool arguments
This parameter is optional.

-listDefinitionLocations

Lists the available definition locations.

-deleteDefinition definition_name

Specifies that the WCT command-line utility should delete a definition
This parameter is optional.
The definition_name is required. Either one of the following parameters is also required:

-defLocName definition_location_name
-defLocpathname definition_location_pathname

If both parameter values are supplied, the first one is used. If the first value supplied does not pass the validation check, the command fails with an error message.

-listDefinitions

Lists the available definitions at a specified definition location or definition location path name
Either one of the following parameters is required:

-defLocName definition_location_name
-defLocpathname definition_location_pathname

If both parameter values are supplied, the first one is used. If the first value supplied does not pass the validation check, the command fails with an error message.

Notes:

Command-line arguments are case sensitive.

If an argument accepts a value containing spaces, the value must be enclosed in double quotes (" ").

Examples

Use the pct tool to configure an IHS Web Server to use an application server as a hosting server:
(Windows) wctcmd.bat -tool pct -defLocPathname C:\data\IBM\WebSphere\Plugins -defLocName someDefLocName -response C:\IBM\WebSphere\tools\WCT\responsefile.txt
./wctcmd.sh -tool pct -defLocPathname /data/IBM/WebSphere/Plugins -defLocName someDefLocName -response /var/IBM/WebSphere/tools/WCT/responsefile.txt
