Jython command assistance

I am still amazed at how many people don't know about the command assistance that was introduced in WAS 6. It is great for those who sometimes struggle to get their heads around jython commands and are trying to script some config work.

In the admin console ==> System Administration ==> Console preferences

Check the "enable command assistance notifications" and if you want to keep a more persistent log of the comands also check "Log command assistance commands"

Now when you make certain changes, on the right hand siode of the admin console in the Help pane you should see "Command assistance - View administrative scripting command for last action"

If you click here you will see a new window with the jython command for the action you just performed.

If you checked the option to log these commands, you will see a new log file created under the dmgr log root file called commandAssistanceJythonCommands_.log
