Console Preferences settings
Use the Console Preferences page to specify how you want features of the console workspace to behave.
To view this console page, click System administration > Console Preferences.
- Turn on workspace automatic refresh
Specify whether you want the console workspace to redraw automatically after the administrative configuration changes.
The default is for the workspace to redraw automatically. If you direct the console to create a new instance of, for example, an appserver, the Application Servers page refreshes automatically and shows the new server name in the collection of servers.
Specifying that the workspace not redraw automatically means that access a page again by clicking the console navigation tree or links on collection pages to see the changes that are made to the administrative configuration.
Default true (selected)
- No confirmation on workspace discard
Specify whether the confirmation dialog is displayed after a request is received to discard the workspace. The default is to display confirmation dialogs.
Default false (cleared)
- Use default scope
Specify whether the default scope is the console node.
Default false (cleared)
- Show the help portlet
Specify whether the help portlet on the right of the console displays.
Default true (selected)
- Synchronize changes with nodes
- Specifies whether to synchronize changes that are saved to the deployment manager profile with all the nodes running.
Default false (cleared)
- Enable command assistance notifications
Specify whether to send JMX notifications that contain command assistance data from the console. Enablement of the notifications allows integration with product tools such as the WebSphere Application Server Toolkit (AST) Jython editor. Enablement of this option is recommended for non-production environments only.
Default false (cleared)
- Log command assistance commands
- Specifies whether to log all the command assistance wsadmin data to a file. This file is saved to ${LOG_ROOT}/server/commandAssistanceJythonCommands_user name.log , where:
- server is the server process where the console runs, such as dmgr or server1.
- user name is the console user name.
Occasionally clean out the file to manage its growth.
