About this task

Creating an application server involves a configuration command. Complete the following steps to create a server.

Procedure

  1. Obtain the configuration ID of the node object.

    [Updated in October 2010] The following examples obtain the configuration ID of the node object and assigns it to the node variable. In these examples, myNode is the name of the node to which you are adding the new server, myserv is the name of the server you are creating, and node is a node object. The AdminTask.createApplicationServer() command requires you to specify a node name and the node name needs to be enclosed with quotes. The AdminConfig.create() command requires you to specify a node object, which you issue the AdminConfig.getid('/Node:mynode/') command to obtain. [Updated in October 2010]

    Using Jacl:

    set node [$AdminConfig getid /Node:mynode/]

    Using Jython:

    node = AdminConfig.getid('/Node:mynode/')
  2. Create the server using the node that you specified in the first step.

    There are two ways to create the server using the node that you specified in the first step. Perform one of the following:

    • Using the AdminTask object:
      • Using Jacl:

        $AdminTask createApplicationServer mynode 
        {-name test1 –templateName default}
      • Using Jython:

        [Updated in October 2010]
        AdminTask.createApplicationServer('mynode', 
        ['-name', 'test1', '-templateName', 'default'])
        [Updated in October 2010]

    • Using the AdminConfig object:
      • Using Jacl:

        [Updated in October 2010]
        $AdminConfig create Server $node {name myserv}
        [Updated in October 2010]
        oct2010
      • Using Jython:

        [Updated in October 2010]
        AdminConfig.create('Server', node, ['name', 'myserv']
        [Updated in October 2010]
        oct2010
  3. Save the configuration changes. See the Saving configuration changes with the wsadmin tool article for more information.
  4. In a network deployment environment only, synchronize the node. See the Synchronizing nodes with the wsadmin tool article for more information.
