RE: XMLConfig Tool

["Frances Stewart" <francess@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Maybe if I list two less than ideal options (when compared to being able to
do something like edtf 'filenamt.xml' CCSID(819)), someone with more
expertise can indicate a better way :-):
   Create the file on your PC and then ftp it to the AS/400. This works for
   me.
   Take a file that is already in code page 819, such as one of our
   (WebSphere) properties files or .java files, clear it out, rename it
   cp819.txt, and then use this file as a template for any file you want to
   create which needs to be in code page 819.

Just to let you know, I find it helpful to do a full export and then just
remove what I don't want and alter the few things I need to. Cuts down on
the amount of time I have to spend debugging due to my lack of typing
skills.

And lastly since we are on the subject of exporting - it is generally a
good idea, once you have configured WebSphere Application Server to an
extent that it would be irritating if you lost it and had to redo your
specific changes, to do a full export and save the output file in case you
need to rebuild the admin repository. Another alternative that you are
probably already doing is to make regular saves of EJSADMIN collection
(library). The added advantage of using the exported xml file to recover is
that it doesn't require a tape, and doesn't take up much room.

Frances,

It's working!!! The code page was the problem.  It was 437, not 819. I
looked at the export.xml file that was created using the xml tool, and it's
819. My "ugly" solution was to copy the export.xml file, rename it to
grinnell.xml, and change the text to stop the app server.  If I create a
new
file on the AS/400, it defaults to code page 37, and if I create the file
from my pc, it defaults to code page 437 (TextPad and WordPad). Any ideas
on
quickly changing between code pages on the AS/400 & PC(NT4)?

Thanks for all your help,
Mike

Mike,
WRKLNK 'fully_qualified_path_to_xml_file'
Then take option 8 to display attributes.

We have had some problems with different editors putting invisible
'garbage' characters into file and wreaking havoc. I don't know anything
about TextPad though.  I always use wordpad to edit, and have not had any
problems (always save as plain text).

Frances,

I tried the example given, but I got the same errors as before.
Unfortunately, I don't know how to check the code page of the .xml file,
but
I used a text editor(Textpad) to create it. Do I need to change anything in
the xmlconfig.dtd file?  Seems the last couple of errors point to something
not set up in the dtd file.

Thanks,
Mike

The correct XML file contents to stop your app server is (see
http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/software/websphere/wsappserver/


docs/as400v35std/docs/admshdwn.html

for example as well):

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE websphere-sa-config SYSTEM
"$XMLConfigDTDLocation$$dsep$xmlconfig.dtd" >

<websphere-sa-config>
   <node name="GRIN400" action="locate">
    <application-server name="grinnell" action="stop">
    </application-server>
   </node>
</websphere-sa-config>

Make sure your xml file's code page is 819  (ASCII) also.

Subject:  XMLConfig Tool




I'm trying to start and stop a particular app server within WAS 3.5.2 Std
Ed. using the XML Config tool, but have been unsuccessful. I start the qsh
session, change dir to the bin directory, type the import command that is
supposed to stop the app server, but instead I receive the following error
messages, and I'm not sure where I'm going wrong. I haven't changed the dtd
file, but I've done a full export, and it seems to match the import file
(for what I need).  I've also removed the <virtual-host> lines from the
import file, with the same results.

Any help would be appreciated.
