Use administrative commands to retrieve lists of forums
that you can subsequently manipulate programmatically.
Before you begin
To run
administrative commands, you must use the wsadmin client. For more
information, see Starting
the wsadmin client.
Procedure
- Start the wsadmin client from the following
directory of the system on which you installed the Deployment Manager:
app_server_root\profiles\dm_profile_root\bin
where
app_server_root is the WebSphere® Application Server
installation directory and
dm_profile_root is the
Deployment Manager profile directory, typically dmgr01.
You must
start the client from this directory or subsequent commands fail.
For more information, see Starting the wsadmin client.
- Start the Forums Jython script interpreter
by using the following command:
execfile("forumsAdmin.py")
If you are prompted to specify
a service to connect to, enter 1 to select
the first node in the list. Most commands can run on any node. If
the command specifies a file by using a local file path, select the
node where the file is stored.
- Use the following commands to retrieve the forums:
- ForumsService.fetchForums()
Lists forums by forumID, for example:
{forumID=7d53c588-4b34-4497-8556-6f253519891f}
- ForumsService.fetchForumsByName(java.lang.String forumName)
Retrieves the forum with the specified name, for example:
ForumsService.fetchForumsByName("My Forum")
