As preparation for Social Connections VI in Prague next week i redesigned the Administration Scripts for IBM Websphere .

Some highlights:

  • all scripts are moved to a subfolder with DMGR/bin (folder name: ibmcnx)

  • tested in multinode environments

  • added some classes everybody can use for his own scripts

  • adding policies to libraries (personal and communities) are using search now

New scripts:

  • documentation of all jvm settings of each application server

  • create a file with all documentation in one step

  • create cluster members for additional nodes

Sharon created a document with the content of all of our presentations and collected several tipps all around connections and community scripts. She will share this next time. We started to share parts of this document and more documentations (installation, usage) for scripts and IBM Connections on:

Scripting101.org

Sometimes my daily work results in technical talks and blog articles, which you can follow here more or less regularly. You can find the presentations in the main menu under public speaking .

I created a list of tools I use regularly, most of which have been released under an open source license.

In my spare time I read a lot, test all kinds of technical software and gadgets and try to follow about 200 RSS feeds.
Here you can find a collection of them.

Setting dataSource/JDBC parameters with wsadmin

Setting the performance tuning parameters for all datasources in WebSphere Application Server (for IBM Connections 4 ) is a really annoying job with lots of mouse clicks.

I searched a way to make these through wsadmin with a jython script and after some testing i wrote one, which set all parameters for the Connections DataSources as described in IBM Connections 4 Performance Tuning Guide .

I set StatementCacheSize, minConnections and maxConnections with this script.

Last weeks, new scripts and next weeks

It was little bit quiet here after Connect 2014. I had lots of projects and no time to add new scripts or even do bug fixing.

I promised at Connect, that i will fix the JDBC drivers, that they will load on Windows too. See cnxMemberCheckExIDByEmail.py as an example.

Loading JDBC Drivers within jython scripts

Jan Riedel sent me a solution for SLES and i tested his proposal today within Windows. He points me in the right direction, i mustn’t load the path or jar within the script, it is better to load on starting wsadmin. You have to add the JDBC Driver path to WAS_EXT_DIRS.
