script or tool for info websphere configurations

Hi,

To build a central information base for our network I'ld like to find a way to retrieve information from websphere applications, servers and dmgrs.

I want to be able to retrieve portnumbers, connectornames, quenames, etc, etc, etc, . A bit like generating documentation I guess.

Does anyone know if a tool exists which can handle this? If not, can I script this via the commandlines and shellscripts (examples maybe? ) ?

Our Websphere servers run on IBM AIX .
I am not familiair with Python or Jython, so these are not an option for me.

Checkout IBM Support Assistant tool. There are agents that you can install that will collect and provide the information that you are looking for as well as a plethora of other very useful admin tools.

Wow...That's a whole lot of info. Thnx.
Have holiday right now, but when back at the office will try this. Especially this portnumber thing would really help us. Would it also work for 6.0 and/or 5.x ?

HonorGod

Unfortunately not.

It may work for version 6.0, but Jython as a scripting language isn't supported until version 6.0, and has changed a bit (for the better) from 6.0 -> 6.1

For version 5.x, you would have to use Jacl as a scripting language:
