Editing the deployment configuration files

You must edit the applicationserver.xml and deployapplication.xml configuration XML files to provide the property values for your environment. You can use any text editor to open and edit the files.

1. Open your completed Installation and Upgrade Worksheet file.
   Tip: In the worksheet file, verify that the Data > Filter > AutoFilter command is enabled. To view only Configuration Manager values, filter by the task you are editing in the Installation or Configuration Program column:

   • CM: Set Application Server properties
   • CM: Deploy Application
2. If you have not already edited the applicationserver.xml file in Configuring Content Platform Engine, set the application server property values for your site.
   1. Use a text editor or XML editor to open the applicationserver.xml file.
   2. Replace each occurrence of ****INSERT VALUE**** with a value appropriate for your site.
      See the descriptions in the file for more information.
   3. Verify that the default values for the remaining properties are correct for your site.
      (Application server cluster configurations only): Make sure the following settings are used in a high availability environment using cluster configurations:

      Deployment type

      Verify that Deployment type is set to Cluster.

      Application server name

      Enter the name of the highly available cluster that you have configured.

      This configures the GCD data sources and security settings at the administrative level so that all cluster nodes have access to this vital configuration information.

   4. Save your edits.
3. Set the deployment property values for your site.
   1. Use a text editor or XML editor to open the applicationserver.xml file.
   2. Replace each occurrence of ****INSERT VALUE**** with a value appropriate for your site.
      See the descriptions in the file for more information.
   3. Set the enabled attribute value in the <configuration> tag to true.
      By default, the enabled value is set to false. For deployment to occur, you must enable the task.
   4. Enter the values for your JDBC data source name and the JDBC XA data source name.
      These values are required.
   5. [Optional] Enter the value of the schema name for the GCD tables.

      By default the schema name is the same as the database connection user name. Specifying an alternate schema name may be necessary if the user name contains characters that need to be delimited when used in the context of an SQL query. To avoid this issue, consult the documentation for your service and create identifiers from characters that do not need to be delimited.

   6. i Verify that the default values for the remaining properties are correct for your site.
      WebSphere® Application Server only:

      1. For standard deployment or non-cluster network deployment, specify values for <applicationservername> and <applicationservernode>.
      2. For cluster deployment, specify values for <applicationservername>, <applicationservernode>, and <applicationserverclustername>.
   7. Save your edits.
4. Run the storepasswords command to encrypt and store the web application server administrator password.

   configmgr_cl storepasswords -profile myprofile

   Tip: If the storepasswords command prompts you to store passwords in configuration files on disk, you must respond with yes or no (instead of y or n).
