= webmethadone - for when you need to give webMethods a shot in the arm

Provides a command line interface for Software AG's webMethods Integration Server (http://www.softwareag.com/Corporate/products/wm/default.asp) allowing you to synchronously start/stop/restart the server, and install/reload/enable/disable/delete packages, making scripting of maintenance tasks against Integration Server a possibility.

Doing these tasks synchronously is the key for scripting, so that you can ensure Integration Server is started before installing a fix and then restarting it post-fix. Checking that the state of the Windows service is RUNNING is no indicator that Integration Server has finished starting up and is now ready to process work.

Usage: webmethadone [options] [package] --start Starts webMethods Integration Server, or does nothing if its already started. --stop Stops webMethods Integration Server, or does nothing if its already stopped. --restart Restarts webMethods Integration Server. --install Installs the given package. --delete Deletes the given package. --disable Disables the given package. --enable Enables the given package. --reload Reloads the given package. -l, --url URL URL for connecting to a webMethods Integration Server. Default is 'http://localhost:5555'. -u, --user USER USER to connect to the server with. Default is 'Administrator'. -p, --password PASSWORD PASSWORD to connect to the server with. Default is 'manage'. -s, --service SERVICE Integration Server windows SERVICE name, required when stopping, starting or restarting. Default is 'webMethodsIntegrationServer_7.1'. -t, --timeout TIMEOUT How long to wait for an HTTP response from the server in seconds. Default is 600 seconds (10 minutes). -h, --help Show this help

Example: ensure IS is started, install TNS_7.1.2_Fix4 packages, then restart

webmethadone --url http://localhost:5555 --user Administrator --password manage --service webMethodsIntegrationServer_7.1 --start webmethadone --url http://localhost:5555 --user Administrator --password manage --install WmTN_7.1.2_Fix4.zip webmethadone --url http://localhost:5555 --user Administrator --password manage --install WmTNWeb7.1.2_Fix4.zip webmethadone --url http://localhost:5555 --user Administrator --password manage --service webMethodsIntegrationServer_7.1 --restart

Caveats:

• assumes a Windows platform
• assumes Integration Server is installed as a Windows Service
• when installing a package its zip archive should already be in ./replication/inbound

== Contributing to webmethadone

• Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet
• Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't requested it and/or contributed it
• Fork the project
• Start a feature/bugfix branch
• Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution
• Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
