I am a little confused on generating a plugin with command line utility. I’d like to see detailed steps for different scenarios, it will help me a lot.

I’m trying to generate plugin for one of the env and getting the error below.

]$ ./pluginUtility generate --server=Test --targetPath=./../usr/server/Test/plugin-cfg.xml
The local target server Test will be used to generate the webserver plugin configuration file.
Unable to complete the operation.
Error: Could not find the JMX local connector address file at /opt/WebSphere/Liberty17/usr/servers/Test/workarea/com.ibm.ws.jmx.local.address

Try from remote connection and see the status if local fails .

 

pluginUtility generate –server=userName:mypassword@testHost:9443 --targetpath=./pluginFiles/plugin-cfg.xml

If the target server is a local server, please check you server.xml and ensure you have the feature below feature enabled:

<feature>localConnector-1.0</feature>

If the target server is a remote server, ensure below feature is enabled,

<feature>restConnector-1.0</feature>

Hi,

It seems that reply for this question is not displaying properly, there is no name of the feature to be enabled. I believe it is localConnector-1.0, however I do have this feature installed and enabled and I am still experiencing this error when I try to build websphere container (doesnt matter the edition, tried latest, full and web-profile 8) using Dockerfile.

Oddly enough, when container is started and I try to run pluginUtility generate --server=defaultServer --targetpath=/opt/ibm/wlp/plugin-cfg.xml it works just fine. Is there any particular step/place where I need to run pluginUtility to work properly? I am sure I've managed to get it running few months ago when I was playing with Websphere Liberty image for Docker, but it does not work for me anymore. Here is my full dockerfile:

Would be grateful for any hints.

Cheers, Chris

Hi,

I think I've found cause of a problem in my installation. It appears that path which is thrown in error message is different than actual path where jmx.address file resides:
