Opening a console window for interactive scripting | HCL Digital Experience

To start the Portal Scripting Interface from a console window, use the procedure described here.

Procedure

  1. Change into the directory where your Portal Scripting Interface is installed:
    cd /opt/WebSphere/PortalServer/bin
  2. Call the Portal Scripting Interface startup command file:
    wpscript.sh|bat.
    Note: You must indicate that you want to enter the commands in Jython as follows: -lang jython. If you prefer to use the JACL Syntax, you can type -lang jacl.
    1. Type the command as follows: ./wpscript.sh -lang jython.
      This command starts the interactive scripting console. The Portal Scripting Interface prompts you for a user ID and password. The Portal Scripting Interface is an extension to the WebSphere® Application Server wsadmin tool.
    2. Use a valid WebSphere® Application Server administrator user ID.
      The Portal Scripting Interface returns the following response:
      WASX7209I: Connected to process "HCL Portal and HCL Web Content Manager" on node wpsbvt using SOAP connector;  
                 The type of process is: UnManagedProcess
      WASX7031I: For help, enter: "print Help.help()"
      
  3. You can now enter Portal Scripting commands as required. You can also use all the available WebSphere® Application Server wsadmin commands.
