Only a sub-set of available options are displayed here in this help.
For a full list of command options please look at the IBM Info Center website.

Table of task Parameters

Name Type Default Value Optional Description
adminPassword java.lang.String   true Specify the password for the administrative security user ID specified by adminUserName.
adminUserName java.lang.String   true Specify the user ID that is used for administrative security.
cellName java.lang.String   true Specifies the cell name of the profile. Use a unique cell name for each profile. Use a unique name even though you plan to federate the custom profile or standalone profile into a deployment manager cell. Federation requires unique cell names before it can make the node part of the deployment manager cell. A cell name must be unique in any circumstance in which the product is running on the same physical machine or cluster of machines, such as a sysplex. Additionally, a cell name must be unique in any circumstance in which network connectivity between entities is required either between the cells or from a client that must communicate with each of the cells. Cell names must also be unique if their namespaces are federated. Otherwise, you might encounter symptoms such as a javax.naming.NameNotFoundException error, in which case, create uniquely named cells.
enableAdminSecurity java.lang.String   true Enables administrative security. Valid values include true or false. The default value is false. When enableAdminSecurity is set to true, you must also specify the parameters adminUserName and adminPassword along with the values for these parameters. You cannot use the enableAdminSecurity parameter to enable administrative security for a custom profile. For security to be enabled for a custom profile, the custom profile must be federated into a deployment manager. Administrative security enabled for the deployment manager is required to enable security for the federated custom profile.
failOnError java.lang.Boolean false false This task will not fail the deployment on error if set to false. This scope is parameter only.
hostName java.lang.String   true Specifies the host name where you are creating the profile. This should match the host name that you specified during installation of the initial product. The default value for this parameter is the long form of the domain name system. The value for this parameter must be a valid IPv6 host name and must not contain spaces or any characters that are not valid such as the following: *, ?, ", <, >, ,, /, \, |, and so on.
installPath java.lang.String   false The path to the binary installation.
nodeName java.lang.String   true Specifies the node name for the node that is created with the new profile. Use a unique value within the cell or on the machine. Each profile that shares the same set of product binaries must have a unique node name.
profileName java.lang.String   true Specifies the name of the profile. Use a unique value when creating a profile. Each profile that shares the same set of product binaries must have a unique name. The default profile name is based on the profile type and a trailing number, for example: profile_type_profile_number where profile_type is a value such as AppSrv, Dmgr, AdminAgent, JobMgr, or Custom profile_number is a sequential number that creates a unique profile name
profilePath java.lang.String   true Specifies the fully qualified path to the profile, which is referred to as the profile_root. Specify the full path to avoid an Ant scripting limitation that can cause a failure when federating the profile into a cell. For example, the default is: WS_WSPROFILE_DEFAULT_PROFILE_HOME/profileName. The WS_WSPROFILE_DEFAULT_PROFILE_HOME element is defined in the wasprofile.properties file in the app_server_root/properties directory. The value for this parameter must be a valid path for the target system and must not be currently in use. [AIX Solaris HP-UX Linux Windows] You must have permissions to write to the directory. [IBM i] The QEJBSVR profile must have permissions to write to the directory.
profileType java.lang.String standAlone true Possible values are standAlone, management or none.
serverName java.lang.String   true Specifies the server name for the node that is created with the new profile.
skipOnFailure java.lang.String Previous Task Name true Skip current task based on the name of the previous task whether has failed or not.
startingPort java.lang.Integer   true Specifies the starting port number for generating and assigning all ports for the profile. [AIX Solaris HP-UX Linux Windows] Port values are assigned sequentially from the startingPort value, omitting those ports that are already in use. The system recognizes and resolves ports that are currently in use and determines the port assignments to avoid port conflicts. [IBM i] Port values are assigned sequentially from the startingPort value. Do not use this parameter with the defaultPorts or portsFile parameters. During profile creation, the manageprofiles command uses an automatically generated set of recommended ports if you do not specify the startingPort parameter, the defaultPorts parameter or the portsFile parameter. The recommended port values can be different than the default port values based on the availability of the default ports. Attention: Do not use this parameter if you are using the managed profile template.
userID java.lang.String   true The user who is used to run this task.

Snapshot WAS Server

Class Name com.midvision.rapiddeploy.orchestration.tasks.was.SnapshotTask
Category IBM WebSphere 8.5

Create a snapshot of a WebSphere Application Server

Description

This task creates a snapshot file of a WebSphere Application Server instance using the WebSphere JMX admin client via a SOAP connection.

Usage

By default the snapshot file will be saved in the RapidDeploy server in the location specified in the field 'Snapshots Path' of the environment configuration panel. If you want to use a different location (not recommended) you can set it using the 'snapshotDirectory' parameter.
If you select to save the snapshot file in the target server ('saveOnTarget') you need to specify the 'snapshotDirectory' parameter with the location in the target server where you want to save the snapshot file.

IMPORTANT

There are 2 very important requirements to use this task:
  • An IBM 1.8 JRE must be used for the deployment (even if the target WebSphere is using a different version JRE). This means the remote agent must be running using this JRE or you need to set a proper JRE in the server panel under the "Java Settings" section of the transport plugin.
  • The following JAR files must be included in the classpath of the project:
  • com.ibm.ws.admin.client_X.Y.Z.jar"
    com.ibm.ws.orb_X.Y.Z.jar"
    com.ibm.ws.security.crypto.jar
    com.ibm.ws.emf.jar
    You can find these files in the WebSphere Application server installation folder, and "X.Y.Z" represents the version of the software.
    Add the files to the MV_HOME/lib folder and restart RapidDeploy.
    Then navigate to your 'Menu -> Projects -> [PROJECT] -> General' tab and in the 'Plugin File Transfer' pick list select these jars from the 'Available Plugin Entries' and copy over to the right-hand side.

WebSphereConfigPropertiesImportTask

Class Name com.midvision.rapiddeploy.orchestration.tasks.was.WebSphereConfigPropertiesImportTask
Category IBM WebSphere 8.5

WebSphere Config Properties Import Task.

Description

WebSphere Import task that imports WebSphere configuration to a cell from a properties file.

Parameters and properties

The following optional properties will be taken from Targets Configuration panel (Menu -> Projects -> [PROJECT] -> Targets -> Entries Table) These will be sourced in order of the precedence above.
The Scope value specifies the possible source of the variable.
NameTypeScopeDefault ValueOptionalDescription
usernamejava.lang.StringParameter|PropertytrueUsername to connect to WebSphere via wsadmin (if not set in soap.client.props).
passwordjava.lang.StringParameter|PropertytruePassword to connect to WebSphere via wsadmin (if not set in soap.client.props).
conntypejava.lang.StringParameter|PropertytrueOne of [RMI|SOAP].
hostjava.lang.StringParameter|PropertytrueHost to connect to.
portjava.lang.StringParameter|PropertytrueScripting Port (SOAP or RMI).

Properties file loading and templates

Absolute Path
You may specify an absolute path to the properties file to import on the target server using only the exportFile parameter. Generally, this mechanism should not be used as it is not portable across environments.

Path relative to archiveRoot and data dictionary
You may specify a path relative to the archiveRoot for the exportFile parameter by using the ${ARCHIVE_ROOT} built in variable in the path. In this scenario you should use the exportFile as a template, and the environment specific data dictionary to specify environment specific values.

If your target environments will need to use two or more templates (where for example production environments are significantly different from development/test), this can be achieved by using an exportFile parameter that is itself a data dictionary item. this data dictionary item can then reference a different template file relative path for each target environment.


Parameters

Parameters

The following parameters may be set on this task:

Table of task Parameters

Name Type Default Value Optional Description
appName java.lang.String @@appName@@ false Specifies the name of the application to be rolled out. By default, leave this field set to the dictionary item (@@appName@@ if generated from the WebSphere Application template), in which case it will pick up the value from the .dict dictionary file for the currently selected deployment environment. Otherwise set the specific value.
cellName java.lang.String @@cellName@@ false Specifies the name of the cell where the application is. By default, leave this field set to the dictionary item (@@cellName@@ if generated from a WebSphere template), in which case it will pick up the value from the .dict dictionary file for the currently selected deployment environment. Otherwise set the specific value.
drainageInterval java.lang.Integer 30 false Specifies the number of seconds to wait before stopping an application edition instance during the rollout such that sessions can complete. The default is 30 seconds.
failOnError java.lang.Boolean true false This task will not fail the deployment on error if set to false.
groupSize java.lang.Integer 1 true Specifies the number of servers to update when rolloutStrategy is grouped.
nodeName java.lang.String @@nodeName@@ false Specifies the name of the node where the application is. By default, leave this field set to the dictionary item (@@nodeName@@ if generated from a WebSphere template), in which case it will pick up the value from the .dict dictionary file for the currently selected deployment environment. Otherwise set the specific value.
resetStrategy java.lang.String soft false Specifies how to start an application edition instance during the rollout operation: "hard": Stops or restarts the application server. "soft": Stops or restarts the application instance, while leaving the application server running.
rolloutEdition java.lang.String default false Specifies the value of the edition to which the rollout is going to be performed. There are 4 different options: by default, leave this field set to "default", in which case the edition name will be the deployment package name (the version selected at deployment time); if set to a certain string value, this will be the edition name selected; set it to a dictionary item key (e.g. @@appRolloutEdition@@), and set this key with a blank value as part of the dictionary file, this way the edition name will be asked at deployment time as part of the "Late Configuration" properties; and finally, you can set it to the built in variable "${ARCHIVE_NAME}", that acts the same way as the option by default.
rolloutStrategy java.lang.String grouped false It can take 2 values: "grouped": Activates the specified application in place of the current edition of the same application across the cluster on which the application cluster deploys, N servers at a time, as specified by the groupSize keyword. The default group size is 1. During rollout, both editions of the application can serve requests. Always set the group number to be at least one less than the cluster size so that at least one cluster member serves the old edition while the rollout of the new edition starts. "atomic": Activates the specified application in place of the current edition of the same application across the cluster on which the application cluster deploys, one half of the cluster at a time, such that only one edition of the application serves requests at any given time.
skipOnFailure java.lang.String Previous Task Name true Skip current task based on the name of the previous task whether has failed or not.
wasDeploymentManagerHome java.lang.String @@wasDmHome@@ false The path to the WebSphere Deployment Manager profile root directory on the DeploymentManager server for this cell.
