Custom service collection

Use this page to view a list of services available to the appserver and to see whether the services are enabled. A custom service provides the ability to plug into a WebSphere appserver and define code that runs when the server starts or shuts down.

To view this console page, click Servers > Application servers > server. Then, under Server Infrastructure, click Administration > Custom Services.

If you are developing a custom service for a node agent, click System Administration > Node agents > node_agent_name. Then, under Additional Properties, click Custom Services to view this console page.

If your custom services class requires a configuration file, the value provides a fully-qualified path name to that configuration file. This file name is passed into your custom service class.

Classname

Name of the service.

Enable service at server startup

Specify whether the server attempts to start and initialize the service when its containing process (the server) starts. By default, the service is not enabled when its containing process starts.
