Configuring processes using scripting

You can use scripting and the wsadmin tool to configure processes.

Before you begin

Before starting this task, the wsadmin tool must be running. See the Starting the wsadmin scripting client article for more information.

About this task

Perform the following steps to configure a process:

Procedure

  1. There are two ways to perform this task. Choose one of the following:
    • Using the AdminTask object:
      • Using Jacl:

        $AdminTask setProcessDefinition {-interactive}
      • Using Jython:
        AdminTask.setProcessDefinition (['-interactive'])
    • Using the AdminConfig object:
      1. Identify the server and assign it to the s1 variable. For example:
        • Using Jacl:

          set s1 [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/Server:server1/]
        • Using Jython:
          s1 = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/Server:server1/')
          print s1
        where:
        set is a Jacl command
        s1 is a variable name
        $ is a Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
        AdminConfig is an object representing the WebSphere Application Server configuration
        getid is an AdminConfig command
        Cell is the object type
        mycell is the name of the object that will be modified
        Node is the object type
        mynode is the name of the object that will be modified
        Server is the object type
        server1 is the name of the object that will be modified
        print a Jython command
        Example output:
        server1(cells/mycell/nodes/mynode/servers/server1|server.xml#Server_1)
      2. Identify the process definition belonging to this server and assign it to the processDef variable. For example:
        • Using Jacl:

          set processDef [$AdminConfig list JavaProcessDef $s1]
          set processDef [$AdminConfig showAttribute $s1 processDefinitions]
        • Using Jython:

          processDef = AdminConfig.list('JavaProcessDef', s1)
          print processDef
          processDef = AdminConfig.showAttribute(s1, 'processDefinitions')
          

        Example output:

        (cells/mycell/nodes/mynode/servers/server1|server.xml#JavaProcessDef_1)
      3. Change the attributes.
        • On distributed systems, the following example changes the working directory.

          • Using Jacl:

            $AdminConfig modify $processDef {{workingDirectory c:/temp/user1}}
          • Using Jython:

            AdminConfig.modify(processDef, [['workingDirectory', 'c:/temp/user1']])
        • The following example modifies the stderr file name:
          • Using Jacl:

            set errFile [list stderrFilename \${LOG_ROOT}/server1/new_stderr.log]
            set attr [list $errFile]
            $AdminConfig modify $processDef [subst {{ioRedirect {$attr}}}]
          • Using Jython:

            errFile = ['stderrFilename', '\${LOG_ROOT}/server1/new_stderr.log']
            attr = [errFile]
            AdminConfig.modify(processDef, [['ioRedirect', [attr]]])
        • The following example modifies the process priority:
          • Using Jacl:

            $AdminConfig modify $processDef {{execution {{processPriority 15}}}}
          • Using Jython:

            AdminConfig.modify(processDef, [['execution', [['processPriority', 15]]]])
        • The following example changes the maximum startup attempts. You can modify this example to change other attributes in the process definition object.
          • Using Jacl:

            $AdminConfig modify $processDef {{monitoringPolicy {{maximumStartupAttempts 1}}}}
          • Using Jython:

            AdminConfig.modify(processDef, [['monitoringPolicy', [['maximumStartupAttempts',  1]]]])
  2. Save the configuration changes. See the Saving configuration changes with the wsadmin tool article for more information.
