Configuring a WorkManager using WLST

We can configure a WorkManager and its related constraint or Request classes in two modes
1. online WLST
2. offline WLST

The only difference here is targeting the WorkManger instance to a Server or a cluster, Online WLST requires

set('Targets',jarray.array([ObjectName('com.bea:Name=appClstr,Type=Cluster')], ObjectName))
set('Targets',jarray.array([ObjectName('com.bea:Name=app1,Type=Server')], ObjectName))

For the Offline WLST the target could be define as follows:

set('Target', app1)

The WorkManager configuration can be possible only when you navigate on SelfTuning tree. After navigating with cding to SelfTuning MBean hierarcy. You can list out the SelfTuning tree that consists of the following branch trees, which are allowed us to created new MBeans using create command.

1. ContextRequestClasses
2. FairShareRequestClasses
3. ResponseTimeRequestClasses
4. Capacities
5. MaxThreadsConstraints
6. MinThreadsConstraints
7. WorkManagers

Here I am with few examples of my experiments with WorkManager and its constraints or Request Classess. To configure a new Global or Server instances wise or Cluster-wide Workmanager using online WLST you need to follow the below steps:

1. connect to the Administration Server.
2. switch to edit tree
3. configure a class or constraint for the WorkManager.
4. set the target as per your need to a server or to a cluster.
5. configure a new workmananger
6. navigate to the newly configured WorkManager MBean and set the constraint or class which created in the step 3.
7. target the workmanager to a server instance or to a cluster as per the need.
8. Save the changes and activate them.
9. While performing the above steps script code can throw WLSTException, BeanAlreadyExistsException

MaxThreadsConstraintsNow let us see the example for configuring a MaxThreadsConstraints using Online WLSTHere we are going to set the Count value as per the need in the runtime for the MaxThreadConstraint. Better you can also chance to target to Server instance instead of Cluster.

#************************************************************************************
# Configure a WorkManager with  MaxThreadsConstrain
#************************************************************************************
from weblogic.descriptor import BeanAlreadyExistsException

try:
#connect('','','t3://adminHost:adminPort')

edit()
startEdit()
c=input('Enter the Max Thread Count: ')
mtc='MaxThreadsConstraint'+str(c)
cd('/SelfTuning/wd1')
cmo.createMaxThreadsConstraint(mtc)
cd('/SelfTuning/wd1/MaxThreadsConstraints/'+mtc)
cmo.setCount(c)
set('Targets',jarray.array([ObjectName('com.bea:Name=appClstr,Type=Cluster')], ObjectName))
cd('/SelfTuning/wd1')
wm = cmo.createWorkManager('pwm1')
cd('/SelfTuning/wd1/WorkManagers/pwm1')
set('Targets',jarray.array([ObjectName('com.bea:Name=appClstr,Type=Cluster')], ObjectName))
cmo.setMaxThreadsConstraint(getMBean('/SelfTuning/wd1/MaxThreadsConstraints/'+mtc))
save()
activate()
except (WLSTException, BeanAlreadyExistsException), e:
print 'Error in script:', e
cancelEdit('y')
else:
disconnect()

Then the outcome looks like below:

wls:/offline> execfile('ConfigWM1.py')
Connecting to t3://adminHost:port with userid system ...
Successfully connected to Admin Server 'padmin' that belongs to domain 'wd1'.
...

Capacity Constraint
Now let us see the example for configuring a capacity constraint using online WLST

#Capacity constraint
#************************************************************************************
from weblogic.descriptor import BeanAlreadyExistsException

try:
connect('','','t3://adminHost:adminPort')
edit()
startEdit()
cd('/SelfTuning/wd1')
cmo.createCapacity('pcap2')
cd('Capacities/pcap2')
set('Count',10)
set('Notes','This will set Capacity constraint')
set('Targets',jarray.array([ObjectName('com.bea:Name=appClstr,Type=Cluster')], ObjectName))
cd('/SelfTuning/wd1')
wm = cmo.createWorkManager('pwm2')
cd('/SelfTuning/wd1/WorkManagers/pwm2')
set('Targets',jarray.array([ObjectName('com.bea:Name=appClstr,Type=Cluster')], ObjectName))
cmo.setCapacity(getMBean('/SelfTuning/wd1/Capacities/pcap2'))
save()
activate()
except (WLSTException, BeanAlreadyExistsException), e:
print 'Error in script:', e
cancelEdit('y')
else:
disconnect()

The output will be like this:

wls:/offline>  execfile('ConfigWM2.py')
Connecting to t3://adminHost:port with userid system ...
Successfully connected to Admin Server 'padmin' that belongs to domain 'wd1'.
