24. Tasks/Commands for Creating/Resetting/Restarting Domains

All of the tasks explained in this section run against the domain provided by the “domain” attribute or “dp.domain” property.

24.1. createDomain

The createDomain task creates a new domain. It can also delete the domain before creation if it exists. By default, the domain is created using the domain configuration file packaged with DPBuddy distribution. A custom configuration can be provided using the file attribute. This configuration could be created by exporting a domain object from your appliance (this has to be done from the “default” domain).

Note that deleting a domain that was previous quiesced and then creatig the domain will leave the new domain in an inconsistent state (operational state is “up” whereas the domain’s state is “quiesced”). DPBuddy automatically detects this situation. It un-quiesces the new domain and then quiesced it again. This brings the domain into the correct “down” operational state.

24.1.1. Attributes/Options

Name	Description	Required
delete	If set to true, delete the domain with the same name if exists. Defaults to false.	No
file	Domain configuration file created by exporting a domain object. You will need to provide this file if you want your domain configuration to be different from the DataPower default configuration. The file can contain variables in ${} format. Defaults to the domain configuration bundled with DPBuddy.	No
maxCheckpoints	Maximum number of checkpoints in the domain. Defaults to 3 (DataPower default).	No

24.1.2. Examples

dpbuddy createDomain -maxCheckpoints 5 -delete

<dp:createDomain maxCheckpoints="5" delete="true"/>

24.2. restartDomain

This task restarts the domain.

24.2.1. Example

dpbuddy restartDomain -domain default

<dp:restartDomain domain="default"/>

24.3. resetDomain

This task resets the configuration of the domain. It deletes all configuration objects in the domain. The task does not affect files.

24.3.1. Example

dpbuddy resetDomain

<dp:resetDomain/>
