Changing IBM Process Server properties in 100Custom.xml

To modify a Process Server configuration, update the server's 100Custom.xml file. Here, you can modify the elements that comprise the server configuration, including environment name, repository server information, and Performance Data Warehouse communication methods.

Although this topic references the 100Custom.xml file, the information applies to any custom configuration file you create (for example, 110Custom.xml).

The updateBPMconfig admin task is available to update the XML configuration files including the 100Custom.xml file to provide a single file that has all of the changes applied to the environment. The admin task creates the 100Custom.xml file if it does not exist. If you have multiple versions of the custom file, such as 101Custom.xml, 102Custom.xml, and so on, then only the 100Custom.xml file is updated.

To update the server configuration properties in the 100Custom.xml file...


Procedure

  1. Stop the Process Server.
  2. Open the original configuration file (for example, PROFILE_HOME\config\cells\ cell_name\nodes\ node_name\servers\ server_name\process-server\config\system\99Local.xml) in a text editor.

  3. Copy the relevant sections from the 99Local.xml file to the 100Custom.xml file and make the necessary changes.

    If you omit a property value where a Boolean type is expected, the property value defaults to false. In the case of some configuration properties (for example, <automatic-schema-management>), if the property is commented out, its value defaults to true.

  4. Save your changes in the 100Custom.xml file.

  5. Start the Process Server.


Example

The following example shows how to modify the environment-name property for the server.
  1. Stop the Process Server.
  2. Open the 99Local.xml file and locate the following text:
    <properties>
    		<common merge="mergeChildren">
    			<environment-name>My Environment</environment-name>
    		</common>
    </properties>

  3. Copy and paste that text into the 100Custom.xml file.
  4. Update the environment-name property in the text you pasted into the 100Custom.xml file, as shown below:
    <properties>
    		<common merge="mergeChildren">
    			<environment-name merge="replace>My New Environment</environment-name>
    		</common>
    </properties>
  5. Save your changes and restart the Process Server.
