Command-line tools

Command-line tools can greatly speed up deployment of applications and other WebSphere configuration tasks.

We only cover a small subset of the tools, those that seem useful to an application developer and tester. For a complete discussion of the tools, refer to the WebSphere documentation.

Command-line tools come in two sets:

  • Batch commands (.bat files in WebSphere\AppServer\bin)

  • Scripting tool (started with the wsadmin.bat file)

Batch command

Here is a list of a few of the commands:

  • backupConfig— Creates a ZIP file of all the configuration information

  • restoreConfig— Restores a configuration from a backup file

  • dumpNameSpace— Lists all the JNDI names from the name server

  • ejbDeploy— Generates deployed code for an EJB JAR file ...
