The Portal Scripting Interface enables the creation of
administrative tasks that administrators can run from a command line.
You must prepare your cluster to manage Portal Scripting Interface.
Procedure
- Complete the following steps before
you use the Portal Scripting Interface for the first time:
- Verify that the wp.wire.jar file
is present in the AppServer_root/lib directory
on the deployment manager workstation.
- If the file is not present, copy the file from the AppServer_root/lib directory
on any WebSphere® Portal node to
the AppServer_root/lib directory
on the deployment manager workstation.
- Restart the deployment manager.
- Run the following task to connect the scripting client
to the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment SOAP
port:
Where:
- ND SOAP Port is the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment
workstation's SOAP connector-address.
To find the SOAP port, on the WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console, click.
For example, if you are running wpscript on
a workstation that is part of a cell that is managed by a deployment manager, the SOAP port might be
8881.
- user is the WebSphere Application
Server administrative
user name.
- password is the administrative user password.
