Modify attributes on running objects using the wsadmin scripting tool

Use scripting and wsadmin.sh to modify attributes on running objects.

See the topic on starting the wsadmin scripting client.

We can run a script that modifies attributes on running objects.

Procedure

1. Obtain the name of the running object.

   Run the completeObjectName command with the name parameter.

   ### Jacl

   $AdminControl completeObjectName name 

   ### Jython

   AdminControl.completeObjectName(name)
   

2. Set the ts1 variable to the running object.

   The following scripts set the ts1 variable to the result of the completeObjectName commands.

   ### Jacl

   set ts1 [$AdminControl completeObjectName name]
   

   ### Jython

   ts1 = AdminControl.completeObjectName(name)
   

3. Modify the running object.

   The following scripts use the setAttribute command to set the ts1 variable ring buffer size to 10.

   ### Jacl

   $AdminControl setAttribute $ts1 ringBufferSize 10
   

   ### Jython

   AdminControl.setAttribute(ts1, 'ringBufferSize', 10)
   

   We can also modify multiple attribute name and value pairs, for example:

   ### Jacl

   set ts1 [$AdminControl completeObjectName type=TraceService,process=server1,*]
   $AdminControl setAttributes $ts1 {{ringBufferSize 10}
    {traceSpecification com.ibm.*=all=disabled}}
   

   • Jython list:

     ts1 = AdminControl.completeObjectName('type=TraceService,process=server1,*')
     AdminControl.setAttributes(ts1, [['ringBufferSize', 10],  ['traceSpecification',  'com.ibm.*=all=disabled']])
     

     ### Jython string

     ts1 =AdminControl.completeObjectName('type=TraceService,process=server1,*')
     AdminControl.setAttributes(ts1, '[[ringBufferSize 10]
      [traceSpecification  com.ibm.*=all=disabled]]')
     

   The new attribute values are returned to the command line.
