The configuration for each service is stored in and accessible through the WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console. Each service is registered as a separate resource
environment provider with custom properties that represent the service configuration. Initially in a
default installation, only the most common properties are shown as custom properties. You might need
to add more properties with key and value as required. Or you might want to remove properties that
can be used with their default values or are no longer required.
Procedure
- Select the appropriate WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console, depending on your
environment:
- If your portal runs stand-alone, use the local console.
- If your portal is installed in a cluster, use the console of the deployment
manager.
- Start the WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console by entering the following string in
the URL location field of a web browser:
http://example.com:admin_port/ibm/console
where example.com is the name of your server and admin_port is the port that is assigned to the WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console.
- Go to .
- In the Resource Environment Providers page, make the appropriate
selection. Select the appropriate node or cluster from the scopes list, or clear the Show
Scope check box and select one of the following options, depending on your portal
environment:
- If your portal is running as a single server, select Browse Nodes and
select the node.
- If your portal is installed in a cluster, select Browse Clusters and
select the portal cluster.
- Select the service in which you want to change a property.
Note: In the list, the service names are preceded by a product prefix and a blank space. For
example, the WebSphere Portal Express configuration service is identified as
WP ConfigService. The Web Content Manager configuration service is identified as
WCM WCMConfigService.
- Click Custom Properties.
- Do one of the following tasks as needed:
- To set a property, select that property and change its value.
- If the property that you want to set does not exist yet, create it new. When you create a
new property, use java.lang.String as its type and do not mark
the property as required. Otherwise, you might not be able to delete it
later.
- Select one or more properties for removal.
- When you are done, click Save at the start of the page under
Message(s).
- Click Save again when prompted to confirm your changes.
- If you have a cluster configuration, replicate your changes to the cluster.
- Restart the server for the changes to become effective.
