Stopping applications using wsadmin scripting

You can use the wsadmin tool to stop applications.

1. Start the wsadmin scripting tool.
2. Identify the application manager MBean for the server where the application resides, and assign it to the appManager variable.
   • Using Jacl:

     set appManager [$AdminControl queryNames cell=mycell,node=mynode,type=
     ApplicationManager,process=server1,*]

   • Using Jython:

     appManager = AdminControl.queryNames('cell=mycell,node=mynode,type=
     ApplicationManager,process=server1,*')
     print appManager

   Table 1. queryNames command elements . Run the queryNames command to get the name of the application manager MBean.

   Command element	Description
   set	is a Jacl command
   appManager	is a variable name
   $	is a Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
   AdminControl	is an object that enables the manipulation of MBeans running in a WebSphere® server process
   queryNames	is an AdminControl command
   cell=mycell,node=mynode,type= ApplicationManager,process=server1	is the hierarchical containment path of the configuration object
   print	is a Jython command

   This command returns the application manager MBean.

   Example output:

   WebSphere:cell=mycell,name=ApplicationManager,mbeanIdentifier=ApplicationManager,
   type=ApplicationManager,node=mynode,process=server1

3. Query the running applications belonging to this server and assign the result to the apps variable.
   • Using Jacl:

     set apps [$AdminControl queryNames cell=mycell,node=mynode,type=Application,process=server1,*]

   • Using Jython:

     # get line separator 
     import  java.lang.System  as sys
     lineSeparator = sys.getProperty('line.separator')
     
     apps = AdminControl.queryNames('cell=mycell,node=mynode,type=Application,
     process=server1,*').split(lineSeparator)
     print apps

   Table 2. queryNames command elements . Run the queryNames command to query running applications.

   Command element	Description
   set	is a Jacl command
   apps	is a variable name
   $	is a Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
   AdminControl	is an object that enables the manipulation of MBeans running in a WebSphere server process
   queryNames	is an AdminControl command
   cell=mycell,node=mynode,type= ApplicationManager,process=server1	is the hierarchical containment path of the configuration object
   print	is a Jython command

   This command returns a list of application MBeans.

   Example output:

   WebSphere:cell=mycell,name=adminconsole,mbeanIdentifier=deployment.xml
   #ApplicationDeployment_1,type=Application,node=mynode,Server=server1,
   process=server1,J2EEName=adminconsole
   WebSphere:cell=mycell,name=filetransfer,mbeanIdentifier=deployment.xml
   #ApplicationDeployment_1,type=Application,node=mynode,Server=server1,
   process=server1,J2EEName=filetransfer

4. Stop all the running applications.
   • Using Jacl:

     foreach app $apps {
          set appName [$AdminControl getAttribute $app name]
          $AdminControl invoke $appManager stopApplication $appName}
     

   • Using Jython:

     for app in apps:
         appName = AdminControl.getAttribute(app, 'name')
         AdminControl.invoke(appManager, 'stopApplication', appName)

   This command stops all the running applications by invoking the stopApplication operation on the MBean, passing in the application name to stop.
