The Configuration Comparison Tool (CCT) is a lightweight wsadmin script and Python report generation script which will produce HTML reports on configuration settings for the following types of resources.

  • Application Servers
  • Node Agents
  • Global Security configuration (not Domain Security)
  • Trust Association (Global and Domain)
  • SSL Configurations
  • Data Sources
  • J2C Resource Adapters
  • JDBC Drivers
  • Object Cache instances
  • Servlet Cache instances
  • Service Integration Bus instances
  • Resource Environment Providers
  • Resource Environment Entries
  • File system comparisons

CCT usage scenarios:

  • Isolating configuration creep: Periodic configuration snapshots can be gathered and archived. These can be used to see what configuration changes that have been made over time.
  • Troubleshooting inconsistent cluster member configuration: Servers and node/server specific resource configuration anomalies can causes unexpected runtime behavior from different servers within a cluster.
  • Assisting in migration to a new version of WebSphere: Cross version configuration reports can help ensure a complete migration of server and resource settings.

I used this tool when i was migrating from V8.0 to V8.5.5.  This guide is a must read for WPS Administrators.

This guide provides a comprehensive approach to performing staging to production using Portal Application Archive (PAA) in IBM WebSphere Portal 8.5.
