The wsadmin tool is a command-line interface that provides the ability to automate common tasks using Jacl or Jython scripts. The AdminTask, AdminApp, AdminControl, AdminConfig, and Help objects provide many commands and options that allow you to write and customize scripts to administer your applications, environment, Web services, resources, and security configurations. Follow these shortcuts to get started quickly with popular tasks.
You must use two % characters (%%) for each % character contained in the parameter value to prevent the % characters that are part of the parameter value from being consumed by the operating system.
For example, if you want to use was%admin as the value of the -password parameter, you must specify the following command:
wsadmin.bat -username wsadmin -password was%%admin
instead of:
wsadmin.bat -username wsadmin -password was%admin
