Wsadmin
open-in-new
<p>The wsadmin tool is a <a href="/facts/Command_shell/Sa67elS7">command shell</a> for the purpose of performing systems administration on all the artifacts in an <a href="/facts/IBM_WebSphere_Application_Server/zItGa4rW">IBM WebSphere Application Server</a> (WAS) cell. It gets its name from the name of the <a href="/facts/Shell_script/NE7YvsBD">shell script</a> that invokes this command shell. This command shell can execute connected to a WAS cell or completely disconnected from a WAS cell (local mode). The wsadmin tool can be used to execute scripts written in Jacl and <a href="/facts/Jython/BPsxEwnT">Jython</a>, or it can be used interactively to execute individual commands. These scripts and commands perform administrative tasks like application deployment, configuration changes and run-time monitoring and control of IBM WAS. </p>
