I am having a problem obtaining PMI data from WebSphere 5.1 using wsadmin.sh and a jacl script.

I have the counters that I want, and the jacl script works if I source the jacl script after launching wsadmin.sh; but if I try to run it from a shell script I get no output to screen or to a file.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Example of output when I run from a script, also tried using puts to write to a file:

[root@redhat2 bin]# ./wsadmin.sh -f try.jacl
WASX7209I: Connected to process "dmgr" on node redhat2-dmgr using SOAP connector; The type of process is: DeploymentManager
java0xe


Example of output when I run interactively:

[root@redhat2 bin]# ./wsadmin.sh
WASX7209I: Connected to process "dmgr" on node redhat2-dmgr using SOAP connector; The type of process is: De
ploymentManager
WASX7029I: For help, enter: "$Help help"

I was using invoke_jmx incorrectly.

When invoke_jmx is used, it returns a reference to the Java object (instead of its value). What you can do here is (since a String object is returned):

set out [$AdminControl invoke_jmx $perfOName getStatsString $params $sigs]
set out2 [$out toString]
puts $out2"

Pls kindly send the try.jacl script.
