2 Oracle Traffic Director WLST Commands

This chapter lists and describes the WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST) commands and their options for Oracle Traffic Director in alphabetical order.

activate

Description

Activates changes saved during the current editing session but not yet deployed. This command prints a message if a server restart is required for the changes that are being activated.

The activate command returns the latest ActivationTask MBean which reflects the state of changes that a user is currently making or has made recently. You can then invoke methods to get information about the latest Configuration Manager activate task in progress or just completed. In the event of an error, the command returns a WLSTException.

Use this command to deploy the configuration changes to the instances. Note that this command will deploy only the changes done after starting an edit session by executing the command startEdit. Also, the effect of this command is not limited to Oracle Traffic Director. All the changes done after starting an edit session to the various other components and managed servers will also be deployed.

Syntax

activate([timeout], [block])
Argument Definition
timeout 

Optional. Time (in milliseconds) that WLST waits for the activation of configuration changes to complete before canceling the operation. A value of -1 indicates that the operation will not time out. This argument defaults to 300,000 ms (or 5 minutes).

block 

Optional. Boolean value specifying whether WLST should block user interaction until the command completes. This argument defaults to false, indicating that user interaction is not blocked. In this case, WLST returns control to the user after issuing the command and assigns the task MBean associated with the current task to a variable that you can use to check its status.If you are importing WLST as a Jython module, as described in Importing WLST as a Jython Module in Understanding the WebLogic Scripting Tool, block is always set to true.

Example

The following example activates the changes made during the current edit session that have been saved to disk, but that have not yet been activated. WLST waits for 100,000 ms for the activation to complete, and 200,000 ms before the activation is stopped.

wls:/mydomain/edit !> activate(200000, block='true') 
Activating all your changes, this may take a while ... 
The edit lock associated with this edit session is released once the activation is completed.
Action completed.
wls:/mydomain/edit>

deleteKeyStoreEntry

Description

Deletes a certificate or trusted certificate from the keystore using its alias.

Syntax

deleteKeyStoreEntry(appStripe='stripe', name='keystore', 
password='password', alias='alias', keypassword='keypassword')
Argument Definition
svc 

Specifies the service command object obtained through a call to getOpssService().

appStripe 

Specifies the name of the stripe where the keystore resides.

name 

Specifies the name of the keystore.

password 

Specifies the keystore password.

alias 

Specifies the alias of the entry to be deleted.

keypassword 

Specifies the key password of the entry to be deleted.

Example

This example deletes a keystore entry denoted by alias mycert.

svc = getOpssService("KeyStoreService")
svc.deleteKeyStoreEntry(appStripe='OTD', name='myconfig', password='', alias='mycert', keypassword='')

displayLogs

Description

Use this command to view the contents of Oracle Traffic Director log files, the access log, tcp access log and error log. The access log records information about requests to and responses from the server.

The command returns a value only when the returnData option is set to true. By default it will not return any data. The return value depends on the option used.

Syntax

displayLogs([searchString,][options])
Argument Definition
searchString

An optional search string. Only messages that contain the given string (case-insensitive) will be returned.

Note that the displayLogs command can read logs in multiple formats and it converts the messages to ODL format. The search will be performed in the native format, if possible. Otherwise, it may be performed in the message contents, and it may exclude mark-up. Therefore you should avoid using mark-up characters in the search string.

target

Optional. The name of a WebLogic Server instance, or a system component.

For a system component, the syntax for the target is:

sc:component-name

In connected mode, the default target is the WebLogic domain. In disconnected mode, there is no default; the target option is required.

oracleInstance

Optional. Defines the path to the ORACLE_INSTANCE or WebLogic domain home. The command is executed in disconnected mode when you use this parameter.

log

Optional. A log file path. The command will read messages from the given log file. If the log file path is not given, the command will read all logs associated with the given target.

last

Optional. An integer value. Restricts the search to messages logged within the last minutes. The value can have a suffix s (second), m (minute), h (hour), or d (day) to specify a different time unit. (For example, last='2h' will be interpreted as the last 2 hours).

tail

Optional. An integer value. Restrict the search to the last n messages from each log file and limits the number of messages displayed to n.

pattern

Optional. A regular expression pattern. Only messages that contain the given pattern are returned. Using the pattern option is similar to using the searchString argument, except that you can use a regular expression.

The regular expression pattern search is case sensitive (unless you explicitly turn on case-insensitive flags in the pattern). The pattern must follow java.util.regex syntax.

ecid

Optional. A string or string sequence containing one or more Execution Context ID (ECID) values to be used as a filter for log messages.

component

Optional. A string or string sequence containing one or more component ID values to be used as a filter for log messages.

module

Optional. A string or string sequence containing one or more module ID values to be used as a filter for log messages.

type

Optional. A string or string sequence containing one or more message type values to be used as a filter for log messages.

app

Optional. A string or string sequence containing one or more application values to be used as a filter for log messages.

query

Optional. A string that specifies an expression used to filter the contents of log messages.

A simple expression has the form:

field-name operator value

where field-name is a log record field name and operator is an appropriate operator for the field type (for example, you can specify equals, startsWith, contains or matches for string fields).

A field name is either one of the standard ODL attribute names (such as COMPONENT_ID, MSG_TYPE, MSG_TEXT, and SUPPL_DETAIL), or the name of a supplemental attribute (application specific), prefixed by SUPPL_ATTR. (For example, SUPPL_ATTR.myAttribute).

A few common supplemental attributes can be used without the prefix. For example, you can use APP to filter by application name.

You can combine multiple simple expressions using the boolean operators and, or and not to create complex expressions, and you can use parenthesis for grouping expressions.

See Administering Oracle Fusion Middleware for a detailed description of the query syntax.

groupBy

Optional. A string list. When the groupBy option is used, the output is a count of log messages, grouped by the attributes defined in the string list.

orderBy

Optional. A string list that defines the sort order for the result. The values are log message attribute names. The name may be extended with an optional suffix :asc or :desc to specify ascending or descending sorting. The default sort order is ascending.

By default, the result is sorted by time.

returnData

Optional. A Jython boolean value (0 or 1). If the value is true the command will return data (for example, to be used in a script). The default value is false, which means that the command only displays the data but does not return any data.

format

Optional. A string defined the output format. Valid values are ODL-Text, ODL-XML, ODL-complete and simple. The default format is ODL-Text.

exportFile

Optional. The name of a file to where the command output is written. By default, the output is written to standard output.

follow (f)

Optional. Puts the command in "follow" mode so that it continues to read the logs and display messages as new messages are added to the logs (similar to the UNIX tail -f command). The command will not return when the f option is used. This option is currently not supported with system components.

Example

displayLogs(target="sc:otd_test_varunam.in.example.com")

displayMetricTables

Description

This WLST command can be used to display runtime statistics about a server instance.

Syntax

displayMetricTables([metricTable_1] [, metricTable_2], [...] [, servers] [, variables])
Argument Definition
metricTable_n 

Optional. Specifies a list of metric tables. By default, this argument displays all available metrics. The metric table name can contain special characters for simple pattern matching. The character '?' matches any single character. The character '*' matches zero or more characters.

You specify the metric table name. You can specify multiple metric table names in a comma-separated list.

These are the same names output by the WLST command displayMetricTableNames.

servers

Optional. Specifies the servers from which to retrieve metrics. Valid values are a list of WebLogic Server instance names and system component names.

To specify one server, use the following syntax:

servers='servername'

To specify multiple servers, use one of the following syntax options:

servers=['servername1', 'servername2', ...]
servers=('servername1', 'servername2', ...)

If this argument is not specified, the command returns the list of metric tables for all WebLogic servers and system components.

For system components, such as Oracle HTTP Server, use the following format:

servers=['component_name], servertype='component_type')    
variables

Optional. Defines the metric aggregation parameters. Valid values are a set of name-value pairs. It uses the following syntax:

variables={name1:value1, name2:value2, ...}

The specific name-value pairs depend on the aggregated metric tables. Each aggregated metric table has its specific set of variable names.

Example

Note that at least a single Oracle Traffic Director instance needs to be running for the following examples to work correctly.

# View metrics for all OTD instances
displayMetricTables('OTD_*')
 
# View origin server metrics for all instances
displayMetricTables('OTD_OriginServer')
 
# Get list of metric tables for a specific instance
displayMetricTableNames(servers='/OTD/otd_test_myserver.example.com')
 
# View all metrics for a specific instance
displayMetricTables(servers='/OTD/otd_test_myserver.example.com')
 
# View instance metrics for a specific instance
displayMetricTables('OTD_Instance', servers='/OTD/otd_test_myserver.example.com')

enableOverwriteComponentChanges

Description

Executing this command before activate lets the activate call overwrite the local configuration file modifications on instances with their corresponding server versions.

An activate call would fail if there are any local configuration file modifications on the instance. In such a case, you would want to either discard the changes on the instance or pull the changes from the instance to the config store by executing pullComponentChanges. In either case, you should execute the command enableOverwriteComponentChanges before activate such that the activate call would not fail because of the local modifications on the instance.

Note:

This command can only be executed from an open edit session. See resync/resyncAll for overriding instance changes outside of an open edit session.

Syntax

enableOverwriteComponentChanges()

importKeyStoreCertificate

Description

Imports a CA signed or trusted certificate into the keystore.

Once a CSR is submitted to a CA for signing, the CA signs the request and typically sends the certificate as a Base-64 encoded string. You should import this certificate as type CertificateChain along with any Intermediate and Root CA certificates using the same alias as that of the key pair that was used to generate the certificate request.

Once you have downloaded your certificate from your CA, you can download any Intermediate and Root certificates from your CA's website, open a text editor and paste the entire body of each certificate into one text file in the following order: Primary Certificate > Intermediate Certificate > Root Certificate.

The file should appear as follows when finished:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
(Server SSL certificate)
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
(Intermediate certificate)
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
(Root certificate)
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

Syntax

Note:

This command can only be executed from an open edit session. You must execute the command activate for the pulled configuration changes to be deployed across all the instances of the configuration.

Syntax

pullComponentChanges(<instance_name>)

The argument <instance_name> is the name of the instance and is mandatory.

Example

startEdit()
 
pullComponentChanges('otd_test.example.com')

This command cannot be executed from an open edit session. See enableOverwriteComponentChanges and activate for overriding instance changes within an open edit session.

Example

# resync
showComponentChanges('otd_test.example.com')
add OTD/test/config/bar.conf 1970.01.01-05:30:00 2014.11.07-17:35:15

resync('otd_test.example.com')
 
showComponentChanges('otd_test.example.com')
component otd_test.example.com changes on machine example.com: no change found.
 
# resyncAll
showComponentChanges()
component otd_test.example.com changes on machine example.com:
add OTD/test/config/baz.conf 1970.01.01-05:30:00 2014.11.07-17:42:57

showComponentChanges

Description

Lists all the configuration file modifications on instances.

Syntax

showComponentChanges(<instance_name>)

The argument <instance_name> is the name of the instance and is optional. If not specified, the command will display the modifications across all the instances.

Note:

Configuration changes in Oracle Traffic Director sometimes requires changes to multiple files such as server.xml, obj.conf, and magnus.conf. Hence configuration changes in Oracle Traffic Director should either be overridden or pulled with these files treated as a unit in order to avoid inconsistencies. As a result, even if one of these files is modified, all of them will be shown as modified since they are treated as a file unit.

Example

showComponentChanges()
component otd_test.example.com changes on machine example.com: no change found.
component otd_origin-server-1.example.com changes on machine example.com: no change found.
component otd_origin-server-2.example.com changes on machine example.com: no change found.
component otd_origin-server-3.example.com changes on machine example.com: no change found.
