Removing configuration objects with the wsadmin tool

Use this task to delete a configuration object from the configuration repository. This action only affects the configuration.

1. Start the wsadmin scripting tool.
2. Assign the ID string that identifies the server that you want to remove:

   Using Jacl:

   set s1 [$AdminConfig getid /Node:mynode/Server:myserver/]

   Using Jython:

   s1 = AdminConfig.getid('/Node:mynode/Server:myserver/')

   Table 1. AdminConfig getid command description . The following table describes the AdminConfig getid command.

   Element	Description
   set	is a Jacl command
   s1	is a variable name
   $	is a Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
   AdminConfig	is an object that represents the WebSphere® Application Server configuration
   getid	is an AdminConfig command
   Node	is an object type
   mynode	is the host name of the node from which the server is removed
   Server	is an object type
   myserver	is the name of the server to remove

3. Remove the configuration object. For example:

   • Using Jacl:

     $AdminConfig remove $s1

   • Using Jython:

     AdminConfig.remove(s1)

   Table 2. AdminConfig remove command description . The following table describes the AdminConfig remove command.

   Element	Description
   $	is a Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
   AdminConfig	is an object that represents the WebSphere Application Server configuration
   remove	is an AdminConfig command
   s1	evaluates the ID of the server that is specified in step number 2

4. Save the configuration changes.
   Use the following command example to save your configuration changes:

   AdminConfig.save()

5. In a network deployment environment only, synchronize the node.
   Use the syncActiveNode or syncNode scripts in the AdminNodeManagement script library to propagate the configuration changes to node or nodes.

   • Use the syncActiveNodes script to propagate the changes to each node in the cell, as the following example demonstrates:

     AdminNodeManagement.syncActiveNodes()

   • Use the syncNode script to propagate the changes to a specific node, as the following example demonstrates:

     AdminNodeManagement.syncNode("myNode")
