Modes of CLI

wadm supports invocation in the following three modes. They are:

• Standalone mode — In this mode, you invoke wadm from a command shell, specifying the desired command, options and operands. When the command finishes execution, CLI exits back to the shell. This mode can support both interactive and non-interactive execution of commands. Interactive execution, which is the default, will prompt you for the password if the password is not already specified in the password file and if it has not already passed through the --password-file option. Non-interactive execution will result in an error if the --password-file option is not specified.

  For example,

  • Non-interactive Standalone mode

    bash-3.00# cat /passwd wadm_password=mypassword bash-3.00# /opt/oracle/webserver7/bin/wadm list-configs --user=admin --port=8800 --no-ssl --password-file=/passwd instance1

  • Interactive Standalone mode

    bash-3.00# /opt/oracle/webserver7/bin/wadm list-configs --user=admin --port=8800 --no-ssl Please enter admin-user-password> instance1

• Shell Mode — In this mode, you invoke wadm from a command shell with no command. wadm prompts the user for a command. After the command is executed, it will return back to the shell. This shell can be exited by typing exit or quit command. Interactive and non-interactive executions are applicable to this mode. For example,

  bash-3.00# /opt/oracle/webserver7/bin/wadm --user=admin --port=8800 --host=serverhost --no-ssl Please enter admin-user-password> Connected to serverhost:8800 Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7.0.9 B07/04/2010 02:06 wadm> list-configs instance1 wadm> list-jvm-options --config=instance1 -Djava.security.auth.login.config=login.conf -Xms128m -Xmx256m wadm> list-instances --config=instance1 sunhost1.sun.com wadm> quit bash#

• File Mode — In this mode, you can add a list of commands in a file and pass the file as an argument to wadm. For example,

  wadm -user=admin -host=serverhost --password-file=admin.pwd --port=8989 -commands-file=/space/scripts/admscr

The following figure depicts the syntax for invoking wadm commands.

With the wadm CLI, you can perform all of the same tasks as the Administration Console.
