wsadmin>$AdminConfig save

wsadmin>set appManager [$AdminControl queryNames type=ApplicationManager,*]
wsadmin>$AdminControl invoke $appManager startApplication myApplication

Uninstall App

$AdminApp uninstall appName

Running a Jython wasadmin script

cd D:\Program Files\IBM\SDP70\runtimes\base_v61\profiles\AppSrv01\bin

Getting heapdump of Websphere server

wsadmin>set objectName [$AdminControl queryNames WebSphere:type=JVM,process=,node=,*]
wsadmin>$AdminControl invoke $objectName generateHeapDump
