Web container advanced settings

Use this page to support web container advanced settings. This support includes Network QoS and transaction class mapping

Network quality of service

Specifies the parameter that will be used to classify outbound data that is delivered in response to HTTP and HTTPS requests.

The classification parameters are used to construct an ApplicationData parameter for the TCP/IP network service, which is called Quality of Service (QoS). The ApplicationData parameter is used in a QoS PolicyRule statement.

You can specify at most one classification parameter. If you do not specify a classification parameter, the response data will not be classified to the network agent.

Information Value
Parameter Description
HOST Indicates that the Host value from the Host header, not including the port, is to be used to construct an ApplicationData parameter. If you specify this parameter, WebSphere® Application Server for z/OS® classifies the outbound response data by using the HOST value.
In the request:
https://www.mycompany.com/mywebap/myservlet

www.mycompany.com represents the host value.

URI Indicates that the part of the Universal Resource Locator that specifies the path to a resource is to be used to construct an ApplicationData parameter. If you specify this parameter, WebSphere Application Server for z/OS classifies the outbound response data by using the URI value. The path must be specified exactly as it is entered in a browser because the check for this path is case sensitive.
In the request:
https://www.mycompany.com/mywebap/myservlet

/mywebap/myservlet represents the URI value.

HOSTURI Indicates that the HOST and URI, concatenated together, are to be used to construct an ApplicationData parameter. If you specify this parameter, WebSphere Application Server for z/OS classifies the outbound response using the concatenated HOST and URI value.
In the request:
Get request: https://www.mycompany.com/mywebap/myservlet

www.mycompany.com/mywebap/myservlet represents the concatenated HOST and URI value.

TCLASS Indicates that a valid Workload Management (WLM) transaction class is to be used to construct an ApplicationData parameter. If you specify this parameter, you must specify the fully qualified name of the transaction class mapping file on the Transaction Class Mapping property.
Attention: Transaction class mapping file support is deprecated and is not available for WebSphere Application Server Version 8 and later. Transaction class mapping file support is available for WebSphere Application Server versions 7.x and 6.1.

Transaction class mapping

Specifies the fully qualified name of the file that contains the rules for classifying the Workload Management Transaction Class for HTTP or HTTPS requests. The file name is class sensitive.

[z/OS]Deprecated feature: Transaction class mapping file support is deprecated and is not available for WebSphere Application Server Version 8 and later. Transaction class mapping file support is available for WebSphere Application Server versions 7.x and 6.1. You should use a workload classification document instead of a transaction class mapping file to classify work requests in a z/OS environment.
For example, if tclass.conf is the name of your transaction class mapping file, you would specify the following for the value on this property:
/mydir/tclass.conf
where mydir is the fully qualified directory where the tclass.conf file is located.
For example
/mydir/tclass.conf
