Use SearchService administrative commands to delete scheduled
task definitions from the Home page database.
Before you begin
To use SearchService administrative commands, you must use
the wsadmin client. See Starting
the wsadmin client for information about how to start the wsadmin
command-line tool.
Procedure
To delete scheduled tasks for Search, complete the following
steps.
-
Start the wsadmin client from one of the following directories on the system on which you
installed the Deployment Manager:
Linux: app_server_root\profiles\dm_profile_root\bin
Windows:
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 that you enter do not execute correctly.
- After the wsadmin command environment
has initialized, enter the following command to initialize the Search
environment and start the Search script interpreter:
execfile("searchAdmin.py")
If prompted to specify a service to connect to, type 1 to pick
the first node in the list. Most commands can run on any node. If
the command writes or reads information to or from a file using a
local file path, you must pick the node where the file is stored.
When
the command is run successfully, the following message displays:
Search Administration initialized
- Use the following commands:
- SearchService.deleteAllTasks()
Deletes all task definitions from the Home page database.
This
command does not take any parameters.
When the command runs
successfully, 1 is printed to the wsadmin console. If the command
does not run successfully, 0 is printed to the wsadmin console.
- SearchService.deleteTask(String taskName)
Deletes the task definition with the specified name from the
Home page database.
This command takes a string value, which
is the name of the task to be deleted. For information about how to
retrieve the names of the tasks in the Home page database, see Listing
scheduled tasks.
For example:
SearchService.deleteTask("profilesIndexingTask")
When
the command runs successfully, 1 is printed to the wsadmin console.
If the command does not run successfully, 0 is printed to the wsadmin
console.
- To refresh the Home page database and purge it of information
related to the deleted task or tasks, use the following command:
SearchService.refreshTasks()
