Configure middleware descriptors


Middleware descriptors provide information about different middleware platform types including middleware discovery intervals, enablement, and installation information.

 

Before you begin

If you want to add or change installation information to the middleware descriptor, know the installation paths of the middleware software to configure.

 

About this task

You can edit the following middleware descriptors that are provided with WebSphere XD:

 

Procedure

  1. Edit middleware platform descriptor properties. In the administrative console, click System administration > Middleware descriptors > middleware_platform_name.

    If you are using an Apache, WebSphere Application Server Community Edition, or PHP runtime: Configure the interval at which the discovery function of the middleware platform runs. Supply a Discovery interval and units for this discovery interval in seconds, minutes, hours, or days. To disable middleware discovery, enter -1 in the Discovery interval field. Click OK to save these changes. This automated discovery is supported for Apache ,WebSphere Application Server Community Edition, and PHP runtimes only.

  2. Edit the middleware platform version details. Click the version to edit. The version properties vary depending on the middleware platform type, for example, for some types, you can edit the session affinity descriptor.

    For Apache Web servers, WebSphere Application Server Community Edition servers, and PHP servers: If you installed the phpRuntime, wasceRuntime, or apacheWebServerRuntime to a location other than the default path, you can edit the installation location. You can also define multiple installation locations. Do not include installation locations for server installations for which discovery is not preferred, such as centralized installation manager installations of WebSphere Application Server Community Edition. Avoid trouble: If you change or remove an installation location from which servers have previously been discovered, changes to those servers are no longer discovered.gotcha

 

Results

When enabled, automated discovery can run for Apache ,WebSphere Application Server Community Edition, and PHP runtimes that you configured.
