BPMShowServer command

This command lists information for a federated Workflow Server instance in Workflow Center.

Use the BPMShowServer command in connected mode from either a Workflow Center server or Workflow Server to return detailed information about a server instance.

The BPMShowServer command is run using the AdminTask object of the wsadmin scripting client.

Prerequisites

Note: In an environment with multiple security domains configured, use the PALService MBean instead of this wsadmin command. See The Process Application LifeCycle (PAL) MBean.
The following conditions must be met:
  • Run the command in the connected mode; that is, do not use the wsadmin -conntype none option.

  • This topic applies only to the IBM Business Automation Workflow Advanced configuration.In a network deployment environment, you must run this command from either a Workflow Center server or Workflow Server to return detailed information about a server instance.

Attention: If you are using a SOAP connection, the command can take longer to complete than the specified SOAP timeout value. Although the command continues to run until it is finished, you might see the exception java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out. To prevent this exception, set a higher value for the com.ibm.SOAP.requestTimeout property in the profile_root/properties/soap.client.props file.

Location

Start the wsadmin scripting client from the profile_root/bin directory.

This topic applies only to the IBM Business Automation Workflow Advanced configuration.
Important: In a network deployment environment, use the port configured for the application cluster member that runs the Workflow Server or Workflow Center applications. To determine the correct port number, see the WebSphere administrative console Ports collection page (click Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers > server_name > Communications > Ports and find the value for SOAP_CONNECTOR_ADDRESS). 
wsadmin -conntype SOAP -port 8880 -host ProcessCenterServer01.mycompany.com -user admin -password admin -lang jython

wsadmin>AdminTask.BPMShowServer('[-serverName Server01]')
Tip: Add the jython print statement before the command when you want to see formatted output.

The output is similar to the following example.

Name:Server01
URL:corbaname:iiop:server1.mycompany.com:2816
Address: server1.mycompany.com
Port: 9085
Availability: true
Username: User1
