server task online

Places the server that is at this junction in an online operational state.

Syntax

server task instance_name-webseald-host_name online [–i server_uuid] junction_point

Description

The server task online command places the server that is at this junction in an online operational state. The server now resumes normal operation. If a server is not specified, all servers that are at this junction are placed in an online operational state.

Options

–i server_uuid

Specifies the UUID of the server to place in an online operational state. If a server is not specified, all servers that are at this junction are placed in an online operational state. Use the server task show command to determine the ID of a specific server. (Optional)

instance_name-webseald-host_name

Specifies the full server name of the installed WebSEAL server instance. You must specify this full server name in the exact format as displayed in the output of the server list command.

The instance_name specifies the configured name of the WebSEAL server instance. The webseald designation indicates that the WebSEAL service performs the command task. The host_name is the name of the physical computer where the WebSEAL server is installed.

For example, the configured name of a single WebSEAL server instance is default. The host computer name where the WebSEAL server is installed is abc.ibm.com. Then, the full WebSEAL server name is default-webseald-abc.ibm.com.

If an additional WebSEAL server instance is configured and named web2, the full WebSEAL server name is web2-webseald-abc.ibm.com.

junction_point

Specifies the name of the directory in the WebSEAL protected object space where the document space of the server is mounted.

Authorization

Users and groups that require access to this command must be given the c (control) permission in the ACL that governs the /WebSEAL/host_name-instance_name/junction_point object. For example, the sec_master administrative user is given this permission by default.

Return codes

0: The command completed successfully.
Note: For WebSEAL server task commands, the return code is 0 when the command is sent to the WebSEAL server without errors. However, even after the command was successfully sent, the WebSEAL server might not be able to successfully complete the command. The WebSEAL server returns an error message.
1: The command failed. When a command fails, the pdadmin command provides a description of the error and an error status code in hexadecimal format (for example, 0x14c012f2).
See "Error messages" in the IBM Knowledge Center. This reference provides a list of the Security Access Manager error messages by decimal or hexadecimal codes.

Note: This command is available only when WebSEAL is installed.

Example

The following example places the backappl server at the /pubs junction point in an online operational state. To determine the UUID of this junctioned server, run the server task show command:

pdadmin> server task default-webseald-cruz show /pubs

Output is like:

Junction point: /pubs
...
Server 1:
ID: 6fc3187a-ea1c-11d7-8f4e-09267e38aa77
Server State: running
Operational State: Offline
Hostname: backapp1.diamond.example.com
...
Current requests: 0
...

Place this server in an online operational state:

pdadmin> server task default-webseald-cruz online \
-i 6fc3187a-ea1c-11d7-8f4e-09267e38aa77 /pubs
