Export the IBM Rational ClearQuest Web MBean configuration
before you modify the MBean attributes. This practice is important
in case you make MBean configuration changes that produce undesirable
results and you must roll back to a known working configuration.
Before you begin
The IBM Rational ClearQuest Web server components must
be running to export the MBean configuration settings.
About this task
The following variables are used in path names:
- ClearQuestHome
- Directory where IBM Rational ClearQuest is installed
- CQWebWASprofileHome
- Directory where your ClearQuest Web server profile is installed
Procedure
- In a command prompt window, set the default directory to
the location of the ClearQuest Web server support scripts for the wsadmin tool. For example:

- cd "ClearQuestHome\cqweb\scripts"

- cd ClearQuestHome/cqweb/scripts
- Set the WAS_BIN variable to the location
of the wsadmin tool by using the syntax appropriate for your
shell. For example:

- set WAS_BIN="CQWebWASprofileHome\bin"

- WAS_BIN=CQWebWASprofileHome/bin
- Start the wsadmin tool by specifying the ClearQuest
Web server profile name. The default profile name is cqwebprofile. For example:

- %WAS_BIN%\wsadmin -profileName cqwebprofile

- $WAS_BIN/wsadmin.sh -profileName cqwebprofile
- Load the ClearQuest Web server Jacl support scripts, which
include the exportToFile and importFile commands, into
your wsadmin command shell:
wsadmin> source
teamAdminUtils.jacl
- Export the MBean configuration to a file that is outside
the ClearQuest Web server installation directory. For
example:

- wsadmin> exportToFile C:/temp/cqwebserver_backups/MBean.bck

- wsadmin> exportToFile /tmp/cqwebserver_backups/MBean.bck
Important: When you
run a Jacl script from the wsadmin command shell on Windows,
you can use forward slashes "/" in a path specification that
you pass to the script. Alternatively, if you choose to use backslashes "\",
you must escape each backslash character with an extra backslash.
You
can specify the same path specification and file name each time you
run the exportToFile command. The exportToFile command
detects when the file name exists in the directory and creates a new
version by appending the date and time to the file name.
What to do next
You can automate the procedure of periodically backing
up the MBean configuration by creating an AT job
on Windows or a cron job
on the UNIX system or Linux. For information about
using the WebSphere administrative scripting program, wsadmin,
see the WebSphere Application Server Information Center (V8.0, V8.5).
