Configure transaction properties for a server using scripting

 

Use scripting to configure transaction properties for servers. Before starting this task, the wsadmin tool must be running. See the Start the wsadmin scripting client article for more information.

 

Overview

Perform the following steps to configure the runtime transaction properties for an appserver.

 

Procedure

1. Identify the transaction service MBean for the appserver. The following command returns the transaction service MBean for server1.

   • Use Jacl:

     set ts [$AdminControl completeObjectName cell=mycell,node=mynode,process=server1,type=TransactionService,*]
     

   • Use Jython:

     ts = AdminControl.completeObjectName('cell=mycell,node=mynode,process=server1,type=TransactionService,*') print ts
     

   where:

   set	Jacl command
   ts	variable name
   $	Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
   AdminControl	object that enables the manipulation of MBeans running in a WebSphere server process
   completeObjectName	AdminControl command
   cell=mycell,node=mynode,process=server1,type=TransactionService	fragment of the object name whose complete name is returned by this command. It is used to find the matching object name which is, in this case, the transaction object MBean for the node mynode, where mynode is the name of the node that you use to synchronize configuration changes. For example: type=TransactionService, process=server1. It can be any valid combination of domain and key properties. For example, type, name, cell, node, process, etc.

   Example output:

   WebSphere:cell=mycell,name=TransactionService,mbeanIdentifier=TransactionService, type=TransactionService,node=mynode,process=server1
   

2. Modify the attributes.

   Use Jacl:

   $AdminControl setAttributes $ts {{clientInactivityTimeout 30} {totalTranLifetimeTimeout 180}}
   

   Use Jython:

   AdminControl.setAttributes(ts, [['clientInactivityTimeout', 30],  ['totalTranLifetimeTimeout', 180]])
   

   where:

   $	Jacl operator for substituting a variable name with its value
   AdminControl	object that enables the manipulation of MBeans running in a WebSphere server process
   setAttributes	AdminControl command
   ts	evaluates to the ID of the transaction service specified in step number 1
   clientInactivityTimeout	attribute
   30	value of the clientInactivityTimeout attribute specified in seconds. A value of 0 means that there is no timeout limit.
   totalTranLifetimeTimeout	attribute
   180	value of the totalTranLifetimeTimeout attribute specified in seconds. A value of 0 means that there is no timeout limit.
