[ --interactive={true|false} ] [ --host  host]

Description

Use the copy-config command to create a new configuration in the domain.xml file by copying an existing configuration. The new configuration is identical to the copied configuration, except for any properties you specify in the --systemproperties option.

The configuration default-config is the configuration that is copied when a standalone sever instance or standalone cluster is created.

Options

-t --terse

Indicates that any output data must be very concise, typically avoiding human-friendly sentences and favoring well-formatted data for consumption by a script. Default is false.

-e --echo

Setting to true will echo the command line statement on the standard output. Default is false.

-I --interactive

If set to true (default), only the required password options are prompted.

-H --host

The machine name where the domain administration server is running. The default value is localhost.

-p --port

The HTTP/S port for administration. This is the port to which you should point your browser in order to manage the domain. For example, http://localhost:4848.

The default port number is 4848.

-s --secure

If set to true, uses SSL/TLS to communicate with the domain administration server.

-u --user

The authorized domain administration server administrative username.

If you have authenticated to a domain using the asadmin login command, then you need not specify the --user option on subsequent operations to this particular domain.

--passwordfile

The --passwordfile option specifies the name, including the full path, of a file containing the password entries in a specific format. The entry for the password must have the AS_ADMIN_ prefix followed by the password name in uppercase letters.

For example, to specify the domain administration server password, use an entry with the following format: AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD=password, where password is the actual administrator password. Other passwords that can be specified include AS_ADMIN_MAPPEDPASSWORD, AS_ADMIN_USERPASSWORD, and AS_ADMIN_ALIASPASSWORD.

All remote commands must specify the admin password to authenticate to the domain administration server, either through --passwordfile or asadmin login, or interactively on the command prompt. The asadmin login command can be used only to specify the admin password. For other passwords, that must be specified for remote commands, use the --passwordfile or enter them at the command prompt.

If you have authenticated to a domain using the asadmin login command, then you need not specify the admin password through the --passwordfile option on subsequent operations to this particular domain. However, this is applicable only to AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD option. You will still need to provide the other passwords, for example, AS_ADMIN_USERPASSWORD, as and when required by individual commands, such as update-file-user.

For security reasons, passwords specified as an environment variable will not be read by asadmin.

The default value for AS_ADMIN_MASTERPASSWORD is changeit.

--help

Displays the help text for the command.

--systemproperties

Optional attribute name/value pairs for configuring the resource. The following properties are available:

HTTP_LISTENER_PORT

This property specifies the port number for http-listener-1. Valid values are 1–65535. On UNIX, creating sockets that listen on ports 1–1024 requires superuser privileges.

HTTP_SSL_LISTENER_PORT

This property specifies the port number for http-listener-2. Valid values are 1–65535. On UNIX, creating sockets that listen on ports 1–1024 requires superuser privileges.

IIOP_LISTENER_PORT

This property specifies which ORB listener port for IIOP connections orb-listener-1 listens on.

IIOP_SSL_LISTENER_PORT

This property specifies which ORB listener port for IIOP connections the IIOP listener called SSL listens on.

IIOP_SSL_MUTUALAUTH_PORT

This property specifies which ORB listener port for IIOP connections the IIOP listener called SSL_MUTUALAUTH listens on.

JMX_SYSTEM_CONNECTOR_PORT

This property specifies the port number on which the JMX connector listens. Valid values are 1–65535. On UNIX, creating sockets that listen on ports 1–1024 requires superuser privileges.

Operands

source_configuration_name

The name of the configuration you are copying.

destination_configuration_name

The name of the new configuration you are creating by copying the source configuration. This name should be unique within a domain.xml. It should not be the same as the cluster name, serverinstance name, another config name, or node agent name.
