Use the commands in the ServerManagement command group
for the AdminTask object or the AdminServerManagement script library
to create a new application server, web server, proxy server, or generic
server.
Before you begin
There are three ways to complete this task. This topic
uses the AdminConfig object and the commands for the AdminTask object
to create a new server configuration. Alternatively, you can use the
scripts in the AdminServerManagement script library to create an application
server, web server, proxy server, or generic server.
Procedure
- Start the wsadmin scripting tool.
- Obtain the configuration ID of the node object.
The
following examples obtain the configuration ID of the node object
and assign it to the node
variable. In these examples,
node_name is the name of the node to which you
are adding the new server, server_name is the name
of the server you are creating, template_name is
the name of the template you want used to create the server. The AdminTask.createApplicationServer()
command
requires you to specify a node name. The node name must be enclosed
within single quotation marks. The AdminConfig.create()
command
requires you to specify the configuration ID of the node object. If
you do not know the configuration ID, run the AdminConfig.getid('/Node:node_name')
command
to obtain that information.
- Determine whether to use the AdminConfig or AdminTask object
to create the server.
- Create the server.
Avoid trouble: A server name can not contain a blank character.
- The following example uses the commands for the AdminTask
object to create a server:
Using the AdminTask object:
Using Jacl:
$AdminTask createApplicationServer node_name
{-name server_name -templateName template_name}
Using Jython:
AdminTask.createApplicationServer('node_name',
['-name', 'server_name', '-templateName', 'template_name'])
- The following example uses the AdminConfig object to create
a server. In these examples,
node
is the node variable
to which the configuration ID of the node object is assigned.Using
the AdminConfig object:
Using Jacl:
$AdminConfig create Server $node {{name server_name}}
Using Jython:
AdminConfig.create('Server', node, ['name', 'server_name'])
- Save the configuration changes.
Use the following command example to save your configuration
changes:
AdminConfig.save()
- 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.
