Question

I'm working with IBM's WebSphere Application Server 6.1 and 7, and the more I work with it, the more I find myself spending a lot of time drilling down to components. I understand that with WebSphere 7, they introduced tasks that allow high level pages to be bookmarked; but what about certain components that are deeply buried?

A good example of this would be for Application Server JVM properties. To view or change these, the following links/drop-downs must be navigated (this is for WAS 7):

Servers > Server Types > WebSphere Application Servers > [server name] > Java and Process Management > Process definition > Java Virtual Machine

Drilling can become quite tedious. Is anyone aware of the capability for shortcuts, or bookmarks to these component pages?

Was it helpful?

Solution

If you're frequently making the same changes to your servers, I would suggest scripting those updates with the wsadmin tool that ships with WAS. It might take a little time to learn and get the scripts just right but once they're setup, common configuration tasks take no brain power and very little time.
