Administrative job types using wsadmin scripting (deprecated)

In a flexible management environment, you can use the wsadmin tool to submit administrative jobs to the job manager. This topic provides detailed information about the administrative jobs, the job parameters, and sample command syntax.

Deprecated feature: The job manager and centralized installation manager (CIM) are deprecated. Instead of job manager or CIM, use Urban Code Deploy to install the product, to deploy applications, and to manage remote hosts. To manage WebSphere® Application Server, you also can use swinging profiles. See Swinging profiles between product installations.

In a flexible management environment, you can configure an administrative agent and job manager to submit jobs to multiple targets or target groups in your configuration. Then, you can submit administrative jobs to queue jobs across your managed environment. Each administrative job has a corresponding job type, which defines the required parameters to submit the job. You can use the commands in the AdministrativeJobs command group to submit administrative jobs to the job manager.

You can submit administrative jobs to manage your applications.

Common parameters for all job types

Use the submitJob command to submit administrative jobs. Job submissions consist of the following information:
Required parameters
Each submitJob command requires at least the jobType parameter. Many submitJob commands also require the targetList or jobParams parameters:
Table 1. submitJob required parameter descriptions . Run a submitJob command with its required parameters.
Parameter Description Type
jobType Specifies the type of job to perform. Many job types exist in the flexible management environment including application management, product maintenance, configuration, and application server runtime control jobs. String
targetList Specifies one or more managed targets where the job runs. String
jobParams Specifies configuration information in addition to the job type and target in order to run the job. Job parameters are specific to each job type. String
Optional generic parameters
In addition to the job specific parameters, you can include any of the following optional parameters with the job submission:
Table 2. submitJob optional generic parameter descriptions . Run a submitJob command with its required parameters and with optional parameters appropriate for your situation.
Parameter Description Type
group Specifies the name of the group of managed targets where the job runs. String
username Specifies the user name to use at the targets when the job is run. If the user name and password are not specified, and security is enabled, the user ID at the job manager is used. String
password Specifies the password for the user name to use at the targets when the job is run. If the user name and password are not specified, and security is enabled, the user ID at the job manager is used. String
privateKeyFile Specifies the fully qualified private key file to use at the targets when the job is run. Specify the full path to the keystore. String
passphrase Specifies the fully qualified passphase to use at the targets when the job is run. Specify a passphrase if the keystore requires a passphrase. String
useSudo Specifies to enable use of a substitute user to perform commands on the target host. The default is not to use sudo. The sudo option is supported on AIX, HP-UX, Linux®, and Solaris operating systems only.

Enable useSudo to change users before a job runs, and then specify the user name and password for the substitute user as needed. sudo means substitute user do. If the target host does not require a password, leave the password fields blank. The following selection combinations are valid:

  • Enable useSudo, and do not specify values for sudoUsername and sudoPassword. These selections use the default user that is set in the /etc/sudoers file and use the password of the connection user.
  • Enable useSudo, specify a value for sudoUsername, and do not specify a value for sudoPassword. These selections use the specified user and use the password of the connection user.
  • Enable useSudo, specify a value for sudoUsername, and specify a value for sudoPassword. These selections use the specified user and sudo password.
 Boolean
sudoUsername Specifies a user name for the substitute user. For information on when to specify a value for sudoUsername, see the useSudo description. String
sudoPassword Specifies a password for the substitute user. For information on when to specify a value for sudoPassword, see the useSudo description. String
description Specifies a description for the job. String
activationDateTime Specifies the date and time to activate the job in the format 2006-05-03T10:30:45-0000. The -0000 section of the activationDateTime parameter value represents RFC 822 format. You can specify Z as a shortcut for Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), such as 2006-05-03T10:30:45Z. If you do not specify the time zone, the system uses the time zone of the job manager. String
expirationDateTime Specifies the expiration date for the job, in the format 2006-05-03T10:30:45-0000. The -0000 section of the activationDateTime parameter value represents RFC 822 format. You can specify Z as a shortcut for Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), such as 2006-05-03T10:30:45Z. If you do not specify the time zone, the system uses the time zone of the job manager. String
executionWindow Specifies the recurring interval, if any, for the job. String
executionWindowUnit Specifies the unit of measure for the recurring interval. Valid values include HOURS, DAYS, WEEKS, MONTHS, CONNECT, and ONCE. The default value is HOURS. String
email Specifies the email address where the system sends job notifications. String

Enter wsadmin commands from the bin directory of the job manager profile. This topic shows examples in the Jython scripting language.

Example usage:

AdminTask.submitJob('-jobType installApplication -targetList [Target1 Target2 Target3]
 -jobParams [applicationName MyApp] -email admin@company.com ')

Interactive mode example usage:

AdminTask.submitJob('-interactive')

Job result example usage:

Running a submitJob command returns a job token such as 124231200726586682. For information on the job token, run a getJobTargetStatus command:

AdminTask.getJobTargetStatus('[-jobToken 124231200726586682]')
An administrative job logs results such as the following:
  • The NOT_ATTEMPTED value specifies that the system did not attempt to complete the job.
  • The DISTRIBUTED value specifies that the agent for the target received the job, but the job is not complete.
  • The ASYNC_IN_PROGRESS value specifies that target is running the job concurrently with other jobs.
  • The FAILED value specifies that the job failed.
  • The REJECTED value specifies target rejected the job because, for example, the target does not support the job type.
  • The SUCCEEDED value specifies that the job completed successfully.
  • The PARTIALLY_SUCCEEDED value specifies that the job was partially completed. For example, partial success might occur when a target represents multiple servers, and only some of the servers on the target complete the job successfully.

Job status results typically progress from DISTRIBUTED to ASYNC_IN_PROGRESS to SUCCEEDED. You might need to run a getJobTargetStatus command more than once, until the result is FAILED, REJECTED, or SUCCEEDED.

By default, a job remains active for one day (24 hours).

Submit a job to collect inventory

The inventory administrative job collects inventory data from the targets. This inventory data includes the available job types and the status of the managed resources, such as applications and servers, for each target.

When a target is a host, the inventory data includes information on the host such as operating system name, version, Installation Manager, package group, packages, profiles, and other resources.

If you want the inventory job to find Liberty resources, variables for the WLP_WORKING_DIR, WLP_SHARED_DIR, or WLP_ADDITIONAL_DIRS must be defined. See Setting variables for Liberty servers.

[IBM i]Note: The centralized installation manager can not discover profiles for Application Client and Plugin on IBM i platforms.

Job parameters

None.

Example usage

AdminTask.submitJob('-jobType inventory -targetList [Target1 Target2 Target3]')

Submit a job to collect target status

The status administrative job collects status data from the targets. Use this job, instead of the inventory job, if you only want to refresh data on the managed resources, such as applications, and servers, for each target.

When a Liberty server is the target, this job updates the server status of Liberty server resources only. It does not discover new server resources or remove deleted server resources. To discover new server resources, submit an inventory job instead.

Job parameters

None.

Example usage

AdminTask.submitJob('-jobType status -targetList [Target1 Target2 Target3]')

Submit jobs to manage files

You can use the file management jobs to collect, distribute, and remove files. For example, you can submit the collectFile job to transfer a file to the job manager. The distributeFile job transfers a file from the job manager to the targets for the job. The removeFile job removes a file that was previously distributed to the target:

You can use file management jobs with remote host targets. Use distributeFile to send a file to remote hosts, collectFile to collect files from remote hosts, and removeFile to delete files from remote hosts.

collectFile

The collectFile administrative job collects a target file and transfers it to the job manager. If the source location is a directory instead of a file, the job recursively compresses the directory contents and transfers the resulting compressed zip file.

Job parameters

Table 3. collectFile parameter descriptions . Run a submitJob collectFile command with at least source and destination parameters.
Parameter Description Type
source Specifies the source location of the file or directory of interest. The system determines the file location is relative to the profile_root directory of the target. String
destination Specifies the destination location. The value is relative to a directory named profile_root/config/temp/JobManagerName/jobToken/targetName. String
distributionProvider Optionally specifies the name of the distribution provider. String

Example usage

The following example runs the collectFile job: 
AdminTask.submitJob('[-jobType collectFile -targetList [Target1]
 -jobParams [[source logs][destination targetLocationOfFile]]]')

distributeFile

The distributeFile administrative job transfers a file from the job manager to the targets for the job. The system stores the file at the target in preparation for subsequent jobs that will use the file. The installApplication and updateApplication administrative jobs reference the destination that you provide to the distributeFile job as the location of the application content on the target. Additionally, you can use this job to distribute script files and properties-based configuration files.

The file to distribute from the job manager initially must be in the /config/temp/JobManager directory of the job manager profile. Then, the system moves the file into the downloadedContent directory of the administrative agent or deployment manager profile. The destination parameter is relative to the downloadedContent directory and can be a file name or a relative path name. You can use a relative path to create separate subdirectories under the downloadedContent directory to organize downloaded files.

Avoid trouble: To submit the distributeFile job before submitting other jobs, you must first place the file to be distributed under the JobManager directory. To create the JobManager directory manually, complete the following steps:
  1. Using an administrative user with *ALLOBJ and *SECADM permission, use the command prompt to change directories to profile_root/JobManagerName/config/temp.
  2. Enter the following command: mkdir JobManager
  3. Enter the following command: chown -R QEJBSVR JobManager
  4. Copy the file to be distributed to the JobManager directory.
  5. From the administrative console, submit the distributeFile job.

Job parameters

Table 4. distributeFile parameter descriptions . Run a submitJob distributeFile command with at least source and destination parameters.
Parameter Description Type
source Specifies the source location of the content to distribute. String
destination Specifies the destination location on the target where the system saves the content. String
distributionProvider Optionally specifies the name of the distribution provider. String

Example usage

AdminTask.submitJob('-jobType distributeFile -targetList [Target1 Target2 Target3]
-jobParams [[source file:/MyApp.ear][destination MyApp.ear]]')

removeFile

The removeFile administrative job removes a file that was previously distributed to the target. The location parameter is relative to the downloadedContent directory, and it should be the same location as the location that was specified for the destination parameter when the file was distributed.

Job parameters

Table 5. removeFile parameter descriptions . Run a submitJob removeFile command with at least a location parameter.
Parameter Description Type
location Specifies the location of the file to remove from the target. Use the destination value from the distributeFile job. String
distributionProvider Optionally specifies the name of the distribution provider. String

Example usage

AdminTask.submitJob('-jobType removeFile -targetList [Target1 Target2 Target3] 
 -jobParams [location MyApp.ear]')

Submit a job that runs a wsadmin script

You can submit a job to run a wsadmin script on a managed target of the job manager. The managed target can be a deployment manager or an unfederated application server. Before running a wsadmin script on a managed target, transfer the wsadmin script, and any script profile, from the job manager to the managed target using the distributeFile job. Remember any destination value that is specified when distributing the file. Then use the following job to run the wsadmin script. Use the destination value for the scriptFileLocation parameter. If you specified a profile destination value, optionally use the profile destination value for the profileLocation parameter.

The status result of a runWsadminScript job depends on the return code of the script. When the return code is zero, the job is marked as successful. When the return code is a value that is not zero, the job is marked as failed.

Job parameters

Table 6. Job parameter description . Run a submitJob runWsadminScript command with at least a scriptFileLocation parameter.
Parameter Description Type
scriptFileLocation Specifies the location of the script file to run on the managed target. The location is the destination that was given when the file was distributed to the target. String
profileLocation Optionally specifies the location of the profile script to run with the wsadmin script. This parameter corresponds to the -profile parameter of wsadmin. The location is the destination that is specified when the file is distributed to the target. String
scriptParameters Optionally specifies parameters to give to the wsadmin script. String

Example usage

AdminTask.submitJob('[-jobType runWsadminScript -targetList [DmgrManagedNodeName]
 -jobParams [ [scriptFileLocation myScript.py] [profileLocation scriptProfile.py]
 [scriptParameters [param1 param2]] ]]')

For wsadmin scripts that process multiple keyword-value pairs for command parameters, such as argv[] command parameters, use scriptParameters to specify the keywords and values:

AdminTask.submitJob('[-jobType runWsadminScript -targetList [myNode01]
 -jobParams [ [scriptFileLocation myScript.py] [scriptParameters [-keyword1 value1 -keyword2 value2]] ]]')

Submit jobs to manage applications

You can use the application management jobs to distribute, install, update, remove, and control applications on the application server. For example, you can submit the distributeFile, installApplication and startApplication jobs to deploy applications in your environment. To remove applications from your environment, submit the stopApplication, uninstallApplication, and removeFile jobs. Use the following application management jobs to administer your application configurations:

installApplication

The installApplication administrative job installs and binds an application or application element into the target environment. You must run the distributeFile job and distribute the deployable content to the targets before you can install the application.

The installApplication job does not provide a means for providing binding information, or other deployment attributes. If you need that capability, you can use the runWsadminScript, or configureProperties jobs.

Important: Before you can submit this job, the profile_root/downloadedContent directory must exist for the deployment manager or administrative agent. You must create this directory, if it does not already exist.

Job parameters

Table 7. installApplication parameter descriptions . Run a submitJob installApplication command with at least an applicationName parameter.
Parameter Description Type
applicationName Specifies an application name to use to identify the application to install. Often this is the base file name of the enterprise application (for example, MyApp for MyApp.ear), but you can choose any name. String
appLocation Optionally specifies the location of the application file to install. By default, the installApplication job appends the .ear file format notation to the application name, and searches for the application in the default destination location.

Thus, if you specify MyApp for applicationName, by default the appLocation is downloadedContent/MyApp.ear of the managed target. If you specify a value for appLocation, use the destination value that you specified when distributing the application.

 String
serverName Optionally specifies the name of the server where the system installs the application. String
nodeName Optionally specifies the node of interest, which identifies the server in a WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment cell. String
clusterName Optionally specifies the name of the cluster in which the application is installed. String

Example usage

AdminTask.submitJob('-jobType installApplication -targetList [Target1 Target2 Target3]
 -jobParams [[applicationName MyApp]]')

or:

AdminTask.submitJob('-jobType installApplication -targetList [Target1 Target2 Target3]
 -jobParams [[applicationName MyApp][appLocation MyApp.ear][clusterName TestCluster]]')

startApplication

The startApplication administrative job starts a previously installed application on the target. The system changes the application status to active or RUNNING, loads the application in the run time, and opens the application to receive client requests. This is the last step in the application deployment process.

Job parameters

Table 8. startApplication parameter description . Run a submitJob startApplication command with an applicationName parameter.
Parameter Description Type
applicationName Specifies the name of the application to start. String

Example usage

AdminTask.submitJob('-jobType startApplication -targetList [Target1 Target2 Target3] 
 -jobParams [applicationName MyApp]')

stopApplication

The stopApplication administrative job stops the application on the target. The system changes the application status to stopped and no longer receives client requests. You can use the startApplication job to restart the application. This is the first step in the application removal process.

Table 9. stopApplication parameter description . Run a submitJob stopApplication command with an applicationName parameter.
Parameter Description Type
applicationName Specifies the name of the application to stop. String

Example usage

AdminTask.submitJob('-jobType stopApplication -targetList [Target1 Target2 Target3] 
 -jobParams [applicationName MyApp]')

updateApplication

The updateApplication administrative job updates an application or application element in the target environment. You must run the distributeFile job and distribute the deployable content to the targets before you can update the application.

Important: Before you can submit this job, the profile_root/downloadedContent directory must exist for the deployment manager or administrative agent. You must create this directory, if it does not already exist.

Job parameters

Table 10. updateApplication parameter descriptions . Run a submitJob updateApplication command with at least an applicationName parameter.
Parameter Description Type
applicationName Specifies an application name to use to identify the application to update. Often this is the base file name of the enterprise application (for example, MyApp for MyApp.ear), but you can choose any name. String
appLocation Optionally specifies the location of the application file to install. By default, the updateApplication job appends the .ear file format notation to the application name, and searches for the application in the default destination location.

Thus, if you specify MyApp for applicationName, by default the appLocation is downloadedContent/MyApp.ear of the managed target. If you specify a value for appLocation, use the destination value that you specified when distributing the application.

 String
serverName Optionally specifies the name of the server where the system updates the application. String
nodeName Optionally specifies the node of interest, which identifies the server in a WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment cell. String
clusterName Optionally specifies the name of the cluster in which the application is updated. String

Example usage

AdminTask.submitJob('-jobType updateApplication -targetList [Target1 Target2 Target3] 
 -jobParams [[applicationName MyApp]]')

or:

AdminTask.submitJob('-jobType updateApplication -targetList [Target1 Target2 Target3] 
 -jobParams [[applicationName MyApp][appLocation MyApp.ear][clusterName TestCluster]]')

Submit Installation Manager jobs

The system administrator can use Installation Manager jobs to install Installation Manager instances, update Installation Manager with a repository, manage Installation Manager offerings, and install WebSphere Application Server products.

Supported configurations: IBM Installation Manager 1.4.3 or later is required.

installIM

The installIM administrative job installs a new instance of Installation Manager by sending an installation kit from the job manager to the hosts.

Job parameters

Table 27. installIM parameter descriptions . Run a submitJob installIM command with at least the kitPath parameter.
Parameter Description Type
kitPath Specifies the location of the Installation Manager kit. If you do not specify this parameter, the job finds the most recent IM installation kit from the default location. String
dataPath Specifies the location of the Installation Manager data. String
installPath Specifies the location to install the Installation Manager on the target host. Specify this parameter only if there are multiple installation locations that exist within the current cell on the same host. String
skipPrereqCheck When set to true, optionally specifies that no prerequisite checking be performed when installing Installation Manager and that Installation Manager disk space checking be disabled.

The default value is false. Prerequisite and disk space checking is performed unless the true value is specified.

 Boolean
acceptLicense Must be set to true, if you do not specify this parameter, the job will fail. Boolean

Example usage

AdminTask.submitJob('-jobType installIM -targetList [Host1 Host2 Host3] 
 -jobParams [acceptLicense TRUE] [kitPath /IM/agent.installer.zip] -username user1 -password pw')

If you do not specify the IBM Installation Manager installation kit path, the installIM job searches for the most recent IBM Installation Manager installation kit that is suitable for the target platform from the installation kit repository on the job manager. By default, the installation kit repository is app_server_root/IMKits. You can change the location from the job manager. Click Jobs > Installation Manager installation kits, and then change Installation Manager installation kits location to a different location.

updateIM

The updateIM administrative job updates an existing Installation Manager with a repository, rather than send an installation kit from the job manager. This updateIM command requires Installation Manager Version 1.4 or later.

Job parameters

Table 28. updateIM parameter descriptions . Run a submitJob updateIM command with at least the repository and installPath parameters.
Parameter Description Type
repository Specifies the location of the repository to update the Installation Manager. The path can be for a local file on the job manager computer, or a URL that points to a remote file. String
installPath Specifies the location of the Installation Manager installation. String
keyringFile If the offering repository that is specified in the response file requires log in, specifies the location of the keyring file to use. If the repository does not require log in, then do not specify this parameter. String
keyringPassword Optionally specifies the password for the keyring file. If the keyring file does not require a password, then do not specify this parameter. String
acceptLicense Must be set to true, if you do not specify this parameter, the job will fail. Boolean

Example usage

AdminTask.submitJob('-jobType updateIM -targetList [Host1] 
 -jobParams [acceptLicense TRUE][ [repository /IM/repository] [installPath /IM] ]')

manageOfferings

The manageOfferings administrative job can install, update, modify, rollback or uninstall offerings in Installation Manager. Submit a job that uses an Installation Manager response file and, optionally a keyring file, to manage an offering using a remote repository.

Avoid trouble: By default, the job enforces the specified data location to be an absolute path.
  • [Windows]You must begin the path with a drive letter.
  • [Linux][AIX][z/OS][HP-UX][IBM i][Solaris]You must begin the path with /.
To remove this restriction, set the following Java property to true: com.ibm.ws.admin.cimjm.disableDataLocationAbsolutePathCheck=true.

Job parameters

Table 29. manageOfferings parameter descriptions . Run a submitJob manageOfferings command with at least the responseFile parameter.
Parameter Description Type
responseFile Specifies the location of the response file to update, modify, rollback, or uninstall Installation Manager offerings. The path can be for a local file on the job manager computer, or a URL that points to a remote file. String
IMPath Specifies the location of the Installation Manager installation. If this parameter is not specified, the job tries to discover and use the path of the default Installation Manager on the target host. If no Installation Manager is found or more than one Installation Manager is found, the job fails. In this situation, the submitJob manageOfferings command must specify the Installation Manager path. String
keyringFile Specifies the location of the keyring file to use if the offering repository that is specified in the response file requires log in. If the response file does not require log in, then do not specify this parameter. String
keyringPassword Optionally specifies the password for the keyring file. If the keyring file does not require a password, then do not specify this parameter. String

Example usage

AdminTask.submitJob('-jobType manageOfferings -targetList [Host1 Host2 Host3] 
 -jobParams [responseFile /IM/agent.installer.zip] -username user1 -password pw')

findIMDataLocation

The findIMDataLocation administrative job can add or search for Installation Manager data locations.

If a path contains a semicolon (;), enclose the path with double quotes ("). For example: "/opt/my,path";/opt/data1. The job can detect data locations recorded in the Installation Manager registry. On unix platforms, the default registry for a non-administrative installation is located in userhome/etc/.ibm/registry. The default registry for an administrative installation is located in /etc/.ibm/registry. You do not need to add data locations that are recorded in the default registry. The job performs the following steps:
  • Validates the data locations specified in the Additional IM data locations field and the data locations found by the job during search (if search the system is set to true)
  • Appends the valid data locations to the existing list of data location for future use
  • Removes duplicate data locations
  • Runs the inventory job
When the job is finished, the inventory for the target is current.

Job parameters

Table 30. findIMDataLocation parameter descriptions . Run a submitJob findIMDataLocation command with at least the responseFile parameter. You can specify both the searchSystem and dataLocations parameters simultaneously.
Parameter Description Type
targetList Specifies the location of the target systems of the job. String
searchSystem Specifies CIM to search the entire target system for Installation Manager data locations. String
dataLocations Specifies the location of usable Installation Manager data. The job only lists Installation Manager data locations that are usable to the current target user that is registered on the Administrative Console. String

Example usage

AdminTask.submitJob ('[-jobType findDataLocation -targetList targetList -jobParams [[searchSystem true] 
[datalocations path_to_data_locations_separated_by_semicolon]  ]]')

Submit Liberty jobs

You can submit jobs to install and uninstall Liberty resources, and to start and stop Liberty servers. A Liberty server is a fast to start, dynamic application server which you can easily add features to and administer by editing XML configuration files.

A Liberty installation requires a Java development kit (JDK) or Java runtime environment (JRE) to run jobs that start or stop the server. Set the JDK or JRE location by completing one of the following actions:
  • Set the JAVA_HOME property to the JDK or JRE location in the server.env file. The job reads the JAVA_HOME property and sets it on the target environment before running the command to start or stop the server. However, this property is not used by the Liberty server command if you start or stop the server manually.

    [z/OS]The server.env file must be in EBCDIC encoding.

  • [Linux][AIX][z/OS][HP-UX][Solaris]Set the JAVA_HOME property to the JDK or JRE location in the user .bashrc file.
  • [Linux][AIX][z/OS][HP-UX][Solaris]Append the JDK or JRE path to the PATH environment variable.
  • [Windows]Set the JAVA_HOME property to the JDK or JRE location as a system environment variable.
  • [Windows]Append the JDK or JRE path to the PATH system variable.

If JAVA_HOME is not specified in server.env or in the user environment, the job manager looks for the JDK or JRE in the user search path.

installLibertyProfileResources

The installLibertyProfileResources job extracts resources in a Liberty image to destination directories relative to the root directory. Before running this job, the following conditions must exist:

  • A host computer must be registered with the job manager.
  • The image, a compressed zip file, must contain Liberty resources in a directory structure that satisfies job manager rules. See Packaging Liberty resources.
  • The root directory to install the resources on the target host must be defined. At minimum, set the WLP_WORKING_DIR variable to a valid directory that is on a target host. To install the resources to a shared directory on the target host, you must set the WLP_SHARED_DIR variable to a valid directory. See Setting variables for Liberty servers.

During deployment of the resources, the product applies variable substitution to the bootstrap.properties file within each Liberty server.

[z/OS]The server.env file must be in EBCDIC encoding.

The job extracts the image on the target host by trying the following methods in sequence:
  • Use the unzip utility on the host.
  • Use the jar utility on the host, including the jar utility from a software development kit (SDK) that is found by an inventory job.
  • [Windows]Use the unzip utility that is copied to the remote host for the duration of the job, if not specifically disabled by the administrator. The unzip utility is deleted after the job is completed.
  • Unzip the zip file on the job manager and copy files one at a time to the destination host. This method applies only if the Liberty server image resides on the job manager.

The job fails without installing a resource if the resource instance already exists in a destination directory.

Job parameters

Table 31. installLibertyProfileResources parameter descriptions . Run a submitJob installLibertyProfileResources command with at least the image or url parameter.
Parameter Description Type
image If the compressed file that provides the Liberty image resides on a job manager host, specifies the full path name of the compressed file; for example:
[Linux][AIX][HP-UX][Solaris] 
/resources/my_liberty_server.zip
[Windows] 
c:/resources/my_liberty_server.zip
 String
url If the compressed file that provides the Liberty resources does not reside on a job manager host, specifies the URL path for the compressed file. Supported scheme names for the universal resource locator (URL) include http, https, ftp, and file.
Restriction: To specify a URL protocol other than file, the target host must have a wget utility. Select an http, https, or ftp remote download protocol that the wget utility on the target host supports. If the wget utility does not support your selected protocol, then the job cannot install the resources.

For example, specify one of the following URLs for the resources file, my_liberty_server.zip.

If the Liberty server resources reside on an HTTP or HTTPS server:

http://www.mycompany.com/resources/my_liberty_server.zip

https://www.mycompany.com/resources/my_liberty_server.zip

If the resources reside on an FTP server:

ftp://www.mycompany.com/resources/my_liberty_server.zip

If the resources reside on the target host computer, the URL can use the file scheme to describe the path and name of the compressed file:

[Linux][AIX][HP-UX][Solaris] 
file:///resources/my_liberty_server.zip
[Windows] 
file://c:/resources/my_liberty_server.zip

If the URL is password-protected, you must also specify values for urluser and urlpassword.

 String
share Specifies whether to install Liberty resources to a shared directory. When set to true, the resources are installed to the location defined by the WLP_SHARED_DIR variable. If the WLP_SHARED_DIR variable is undefined or does not specify a valid directory, the product returns an error and does not extract resources from the image.

When set to false, the default value, the job installs the resources to the location that is defined by the WLP_WORKING_DIR variable.

 Boolean
urluser Specifies a user name for the URL. If you specified a URL and the URL is password-protected, you must specify a user name. Otherwise, do not provide a value for urluser. String
urlpassword Specifies a password that enables the urluser to access the URL. If you specified a URL and the URL is password-protected, you must specify a password. Otherwise, do not provide a value for urlpassword. String

Example usage

The following example has the image on the same host as the job manager and installs to WLP_WORKING_DIR:
AdminTask.submitJob('[-jobType installLibertyProfileResources -targetList [host_name]
 -description installLibertyProfileResources
 -jobParams [ [image /tmp/liberty/wlpwithjava.zip] [share FALSE] ]]')
The following example has the image on a target host, specifies a file URL for the image, and installs to WLP_WORKING_DIR:
AdminTask.submitJob('[-jobType installLibertyProfileResources -targetList [host_name]
 -description installLibertyProfileResources
 -jobParams [ [url file://c:/LibertyWorking/LibertyWorkingwjava.zip] [share FALSE] ]]')
The following example has the image on a remote, password-protected ftp server and installs to WLP_WORKING_DIR:
AdminTask.submitJob('[-jobType installLibertyProfileResources -targetList [host_name]
 -description installLibertyProfileResources
 -jobParams [ [urlpassword ftp_pwd] [url ftp://www.mycompany.com/projects/liberty/image-0111003.zip]
     [share FALSE] [urluser ftp_user] ]]')
The following example has the image on a remote, password-protected http server and installs to WLP_WORKING_DIR:
AdminTask.submitJob('[-jobType installLibertyProfileResources -targetList [host_name]
 -description installLibertyProfileResources
 -jobParams [ [urlpassword http_pwd] [url http://www.mycompany.com/projects/liberty/image-0111003.zip]
    [share FALSE] [urluser http_user] ]]')
The following example has the image on a remote, password-protected https server and installs to WLP_SHARED_DIR:
AdminTask.submitJob('[-jobType installLibertyProfileResources -targetList [host_name]
 -description installLibertyProfileResources
 -jobParams [ [urlpassword http_pwd] [url https://www.mycompany.com/projects/liberty/image-0111003.zip]
    [share TRUE] [urluser http_user] ]]')

uninstallLibertyProfileResources

The uninstallLibertyProfileResources job removes a resource from administration by the job manager. The resource previously was installed to a destination directory on the host by the installLibertyProfileResources job or, after manual installation by unzipping a Liberty image, was found by the inventory job.

The product returns an error and does not remove the resource if any of the following conditions exist:
  • The command specifies more than one resource type to remove.
  • The resource name resolves to more than one resource of the same name.
  • The resource does not exist in a directory that the job manager can access and search.
Avoid trouble: If the job fails, some files might be deleted. The resource might be in a corrupt state. If you manually change resource files to fix the problem, after changing the files, run an inventory job to update the inventory.

Job parameters

Table 32. uninstallLibertyProfileResources parameter descriptions . Run a submitJob uninstallLibertyProfileResources command with only one parameter that identifies the resource to remove.
Parameter Description Type
projectName Specifies the name or resource ID of the project to remove. The product searches all the servers for the project. For each identified server that is running, the product stops the server before attempting to remove the resource. String
runtimeName Specifies the name or resource ID of the Liberty run time to remove. The product searches all the servers for the run time. For each identified server that is running, the product stops the server before attempting to remove the resource. String
sdkName Specifies the name or resource ID of the software development kit (SDK) to remove. String
serverName Specifies the name or resource ID of the server to remove. If the server is running, the product stops the server before removing the resource. String
applicationBinaryName Specifies the name or resource ID of the application binary to remove. String
forceDelete Optionally, specifies whether to delete resources even if their status cannot be detected. The default is false, to not delete resources. When the value is true, server resources are deleted even if the status of the server resources cannot be detected or the servers cannot be stopped. If the status for a server cannot be detected, the uninstallLibertyProfileResources job fails unless this forceDelete option is specified. Boolean

Example usage

The following example removes the DefaultWebApplication.war application binary from job manager administration:

AdminTask.submitJob('[-jobType uninstallLibertyProfileResources -targetList [host_name]
 -description uninstallLibertyProfileResources
 -jobParams [ [applicationBinaryName DefaultWebApplication.war] ]]')

startLibertyProfileServer

The startLibertyProfileServer job starts one or more Liberty server resources. The status of the server resources changes from Stopped to Started.

A Liberty server requires a Java development kit (JDK) or Java runtime environment (JRE) to run this job. Set the JDK or JRE location by completing one of the following actions:
  • Set the JAVA_HOME property to the JDK or JRE location in the server.env file. The job reads the JAVA_HOME property and sets it on the target environment before running the command to start the server. However, this property is not used by the Liberty server command if you start the server manually.

    [z/OS]The server.env file must be in EBCDIC encoding.

  • [Linux][AIX][z/OS][HP-UX][Solaris]Set the JAVA_HOME property to the JDK or JRE location in the user .bashrc file.
  • [Linux][AIX][z/OS][HP-UX][Solaris]Append the JDK or JRE path to the PATH environment variable.

generateMergedPluginConfigForLibertyProfileServers

The generateMergedPluginConfigForLibertyProfileServers job creates a single plugin-cfg.xml file by merging all the plugin-cfg.xml files that were generated for the liberty server on the targeted hosts.

For this job, you can specify a Liberty server on multiple target hosts. After the Liberty server is found, a plugin-cfg.xml file is generated on that server, then copied back to the job manager. When all plugin-cfg.xml files have been generated for all targeted Liberty servers, they are merged into one plugin-cfg.xml file. This merged file is placed in the job manager directory app_server_root/profiles/job_manager_profile/config/temp/JobManager/job_ID/_mergedPluginDir/.

This job requires a Java Management Extensions (JMX) connection to Liberty servers on the target hosts. You can configure the JMX connection using either the local connector or the HTTP/REST connector. Specify the connector feature name in the server.xml file of the Liberty servers. The following example shows feature names in a server.xml file for both the local and HTTP/REST connectors:
<featureManager>
  <feature>localConnector-1.0</feature>
  <feature>restConnector-1.0</feature>
  ...
</featureManager>
If you use the HTTP/REST connector, you must specify a user name and password for the JMX connection when submitting the job.
The job stops and the product returns an error if any of the following conditions exist:
  • A targeted Liberty server is not running.
  • No JMX connector is configured for a targeted Liberty server.
  • The command does not specify valid credentials for a JMX connection.
