Configuration IDs enable the AdminConfig scripting object to find any element on the WAS configuration DOM tree. Configuration IDs contain:

  • a name. This part is optional
  • a relative path to the configuration file that contains the information for this element.
  • an xmi:id that identifies the element in the configuration file that holds the configuration information.

A pound sign -- # -- separates the relative path from the xmi:id. Parenthesis surround these two items.

SimpleDemoMessageCluster(cells/KevinCell/clusters/SimpleDemoMessageCluster|cluster.xml#ServerCluster_1313783900940)

The name of this element is "SimpleDemoMessageCluster". Its configuration file is in the config repository at "cells/KevinCell/clusters/SimpleDemoMessageCluster/cluster.xml" The element inside server.xml that holds actual configuration is "ServerCluster_1313783900940"

<topology.cluster:ServerCluster ... xmi:id="ServerCluster_1313783900940" name="SimpleDemoMessageCluster" preferLocal="true" nodeGroupName="SIBNodeGroup"> <members xmi:id="ClusterMember_1313784600145" memberName="q01" weight="2" uniqueId="1313784599101" nodeName="QNode"/> <members xmi:id="ClusterMember_1313784601097" memberName="q02" weight="2" uniqueId="1313784600372" nodeName="QNode"/> </topology.cluster:ServerCluster>
