APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Currently, the wsadmin correctly exits when sys.exit command is
    issued, but it incorrectly exits when sys.exit is typed in as
    part of a procedure (function) definition such as:
    
    Current behavior:
    
    wsadmin>import sys
    wsadmin>def example():
    wsadmin>  print "I am here"
    wsadmin>  sys.exit()
    
    ==> wsadmin exits
    
    
    The correct behavior should be:
    
    wsadmin>import sys
    wsadmin>def example():
    wsadmin>  print "I am here"
    wsadmin>  sys.exit()
    wsadmin>
    wsadmin>example()
    wsadmin>I am here
    
    ==> wsadmin exits when example() is called
    
    When user defines a procedure (function) and types in
    sys.exit() text in wsadmin interactive command window, the
    wsadmin should not execute it like sys.exit() command.  The
    wsadmin should define the procedure, store text and execute the
    procedure (exits wsadmin) when the procedure is called.
    It is a bug in the wsadmin interactive command line.
    

Local fix

  • use os._exit() instead.
    It calls the C function _exit() which also does an immediate
    program termination. The code can be:
    wsadmin>import os
    wsadmin>def example():
    wsadmin> os._exit()
    wsadmin>
    Then you can run to test example() funcion:
    wsadmin>example()

Problem conclusion

  • When user defines a procedure (function) and types in
    sys.exit() text in wsadmin interactive command console, the
    wsadmin should not execute it like sys.exit() command.  The
    wsadmin should define the procedure, store text and execute the
    procedure and exit wsadmin when the procedure is
    called.  It is a bug in the wsadmin interactive command line.
