Scripting Connections wsadmin commands in a clustered environment
Recently I was creating a script to deactivate and reactivate a specific user (base of the script thanks to Christoph Stoetner)
This script was running nicely on my Dev environment, but once I transferred it to my Pre-prod the script would prompt me with the following:
As I have Activities, and all other services running on multiple nodes it wants to know what server I want to connect to. I tried to fiddle around trying to respond in my script but that approach did not work. I opened a pmr with support and they knew the issue and have already created an enhancement request. They also have a workaround, but no technote, I have asked to keep the pmr open until the technote is published.
They gave me some example code to alter the activitiesAdmin.py script in your $WebSphereProfilesDirecotry\Dmgr01\bin directory. This needs to be done for all scripts and you will have to redo this every time IBM decides to update these scripts with a CR.
For Activities replace the following block of code in activitiesAdmin.py:
With the following:
This process can be reused for the following files where similar code can be found:
- dogearAdmin.py
- filesAdmin.py
- forumsAdmin.py
- gadgetAdmin.py
- homepageAdmin.py
- metricsAdmin.py
- newsAdmin.py (block is in there multiple times for all subservices)
- searchAdmin.py
For some of the files, that block of code cannot be found and I ended up changing as follows:
blogsAdmin.py
communitiesAdmin.py
