how can I manually synchronize nodes in websphere application server?

Question

Node synchronization fails in was admin console and breaking things up when starting servers. Some servers are not even starting in this case.

I'm wondering if there's some other way of doing it?

Answer 1

Use the command line: make sure all node agents are stopped and the deployment manager (usually named dmgr) is running and then

(on UNIX or Linux)
 

bash-3.2# cd <WAS_INSTALL_ROOT>/profiles/Custom01/bin
bash-3.2# ./syncNode.sh <dmgr_server_name_or_IP>

(on Windows)

> syncNode.bat <dmgr_server_name_or_IP>

 

Answer 2

You can synchronize the nodes of a WAS cell more throughly by executing a command like the following from a Terminal window:

For example:

./syncnode.sh localhost 8879 -conntype SOAP -user wasadmin
