Removing configuration objects with the wsadmin tool

Use this task to delete a configuration object from the configuration repository. This action only affects the configuration.

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

If a running instance of a configuration object exists when you remove the configuration, the change has no effect on the running instance.

Procedure

  1. Assign the ID string that identifies the server that you want to remove:

    Using Jacl:

    set s1 [$AdminConfig getid /Node:mynode/Server:myserver/]

    Using Jython:

    s1 = AdminConfig.getid('/Node:mynode/Server:myserver/')
    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 that represents the WebSphere Application Server configuration
    getid is an AdminConfig command
    Node is an object type
    mynode is the host name of the node from which the server is removed
    Server is an object type
    myserver is the name of the server to remove
  2. Remove the configuration object. For example:
    • Using Jacl:

      $AdminConfig remove $s1
    • Using Jython:
      AdminConfig.remove(s1)
    where:
    $ is a Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
    AdminConfig is an object that represents the WebSphere Application Server configuration
    remove is an AdminConfig command
    s1 evaluates the ID of the server that is specified in step number 2
  3. Save the configuration changes. See the Saving configuration changes with the wsadmin tool article for more information.

Results

The WebSphere Application Server configuration no longer contains a specific server object. Running servers are not affected.
