Problem summary

• USERS AFFECTED:
  Websphere Commerce users on v7.0 who use the workspace function
  and want to isolate the quick publish scheduler job on a
  particular instance or cluster member.
  
  PROBLEM ABSTRACT:
  There is no way to isolate the quick publish scheduler job to
  run on a particular WebSphere Commerce instance or cluster
  member.
  
  BUSINESS IMPACT:
  Improve the management of workload or for debugging purposes
  
  RECOMMENDATION:
  

Problem conclusion

• This ifix will enable the configuration of the WebSphere
  Commerce scheduler to run quick publish jobs on specific
  WebSphere Commerce instances or cluster members that you define.
  
  A code enhancement has been added in this ifix for configuring
  the Websphere Commerce scheduler to run quick publish jobs on a
  specific WebSphere Commerce instance or cluster member. After
  applying the ifix you will need to follow this procedure in
  order to use this function:
  
  1. Uniquely identify the server process where you want the quick
  publish task to run. Follow the steps that are provided in
  Information Center  topic "Configuring the scheduler to run a
  job on an instance or cluster member";
  
  To uniquely identify each server process that runs Websphere
  Commerce, you must enter the following JVM parameter in the Name
  field:
  com.ibm.commerce.scheduler.SchedulerHostName
  and provide a value for the parameter in the Value field. Make
  note of value that you specify; you need to use the same value
  for the jvmName parameter in Step 2.
  
  2. Update the value of the quick publish JVM name attribute in
  the wc-resource-containers.xml file.
  a.Open the
  WC_profiledir\installedApps\cell_name\WCServer_enterprise_archiv
  e\xml\content-management\wc-resource-containers.xml file for
  editing.
  b.Locate the <wc:QuickPublishConfiguration> element, and add the
  jvmName parameter as shown:
  <wc:QuickPublishConfiguration>
                <wc:Publisher
  className="com.ibm.commerce.context.content.resources.publish.De
  faultJDBCContentPublisherImpl"
                initParameters=[other-parameters]
  jvmName="QPHostname" [other-parameters]/ >
  </wc:QuickPublishConfiguration>
  
  The value of the jvmName parameter must match the value
  specified for the com.ibm.commerce.scheduler.SchedulerHostName
  parameter in Step 1.
