Scenario: Often there is a need to view configuration properties of server and dispatcher. Visual Administrator provides one of the means to view the properties through UI navigation as shown in figure 1.

Problem: what if you were asked to
compare the properties from different servers?? Visual Admin does provide a
means to export the properties of each service on the J2EE Server.
Solution: One solution that I have found
very useful is to do a telnet and enquire the required properties, store them
into files for further analysis.
Step 1: Connect to the telnet port of
J2EE Engine, it usually ends with 08, i.e. if your http port is 50000, then the
telnet port is 50008. Figure 2 shows the telnet screen.

Step2 : To get properties of the dispatcher
issue the following command.

Step 3: To get properties of the server
node, jump to the server of interest and issue "listsp" command as shown in
figure 4. To see all the cluster elements use "lsc".
