Modifying the starting weight of applications using scripting

You can use the wsadmin tool and scripting to modify the starting weight of an application.

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

Attention: If an application is running, changing an application setting causes the application to restart. On stand-alone servers, the application restarts after you save the change. On multiple-server products, the application restarts after you save the change and files synchronize on the node where the application is installed.
To modify the starting weight of an application, perform the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Retrieve the configuration ID of the object that you want to modify and set it to the dep variable. For example:
    • Using Jacl:
      set dep [$AdminConfig getid /Deployment:MyApp/]
    • Using Jython:
      dep = AdminConfig.getid("/Deployment:MyApp/")
  2. Identify the deployed object and set it to the depObject variable. For example:
    • Using Jacl:
      set depObject [$AdminConfig showAttribute $dep deployedObject]
    • Using Jython:
      depObject = AdminConfig.showAttribute(dep, "deployedObject")
  3. Show the current attribute values of the configuration object with the show command, for example:
    • Using Jacl:
      $AdminConfig show $depObject startingWeight
      Example output:
      {startingWeight 1}
    • Using Jython:
      AdminConfig.show(depObject, 'startingWeight')
      Example output:
      [startingWeight 1]
  4. Modify the attributes of the configuration object with the modify command, for example:
    • Using Jacl:
      $AdminConfig modify $depObject {{startingWeight 2}}
    • Using Jython:
      AdminConfig.modify(depObject, [['startingWeight', '2']])
  5. Verify the changes that you made to the attribute value with the show command, for example:
    • Using Jacl:
      $AdminConfig show $depObject startingWeight
      Example output:
      {startingWeight 2}
    • Using Jython:
      AdminConfig.show(depObject, 'startingWeight')
      Example output:
      [startingWeight 2]
