Working with application server properties files

You can use properties files to create or change application server properties and the associated StateManageable instance under a server.

AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')

• Modify a properties file for an ApplicationServer object.
  1. Obtain a properties file for the application server that you want to change.

     You can extract a properties file for an ApplicationServer using the extractConfigProperties command.

  2. Open the properties file in an editor and change the properties as needed.

     For example, modify the ApplicationServer and associated StateManageable under a server. The following properties file shows a property under ApplicationServer with name myName and value myVal:

     #
     # Header
     #
     ResourceType=ApplicationServer
     ImplementingResourceType=ApplicationServer
     ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:Node=!{nodeName}:Server=!{serverName}:ApplicationServer=
     AttributeInfo=components
     #
     
     #
     #Properties
     #
     applicationClassLoaderPolicy=MULTIPLE #ENUM(MULTIPLE|SINGLE),default(MULTIPLE)
     name=null
     applicationClassLoadingMode=PARENT_FIRST #ENUM(PARENT_FIRST|PARENT_LAST),default(PARENT_FIRST)
     server=!{serverName}
     parentComponent=null
     id=-1 #long,default(-1)
     
     
     #
     # Header
     #
     ResourceType=StateManageable
     ImplementingResourceType=ApplicationServer
     ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:Node=!{nodeName}:Server=!{serverName}:ApplicationServer=:StateManageable=
     AttributeInfo=stateManagement
     #
     
     #
     #Properties
     #
     initialState=START #ENUM(STOP|START),default(START)
     managedObject=Cell=!{cellName}:Node=!{nodeName}:Server=!{serverName}:ApplicationServer= #ObjectName(ApplicationServer),readonly
     
     
     #
     # Header
     #
     ResourceType=ApplicationServer
     ImplementingResourceType=ApplicationServer
     ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:Node=!{nodeName}:Server=!{serverName}:ApplicationServer=
     AttributeInfo=properties(name,value)
     #
     
     #
     #Properties
     #
     myName=myVal
     #
     
     EnvironmentVariablesSection
     #
     #Environment Variables
     cellName=WASCell06
     serverName=myServer
     nodeName=WASNode04

  3. Run the applyConfigProperties command to change an application server configuration and create any new properties.

     Running the applyConfigProperties command applies the properties file to the configuration. In this Jython example, the optional -reportFileName parameter produces a report named report.txt:

     AdminTask.applyConfigProperties(['-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt'])

• Delete application server properties.

  To delete one or more properties, specify only those properties to delete in the properties file and run deleteConfigProperties; for example:

  AdminTask.deleteConfigProperties('[-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt]')
