Configure remote file services
Overview
Configuration data for the WAS product resides in files. Two services help you reconfigure and otherwise manage these files: the file transfer service and file synchronization service.
By default, the file transfer service is always configured and enabled at a node agent, so you do not need to take additional steps to configure this service. However, you might need to configure the file synchronization service.
Configure remote file services
- Go to...
System Administration | Node agents | node agent | File synchronization service
...and customize the service that helps make configuration data consistent across a cell by moving updated configuration files from the dmgr to the node. The file synchronization service is always started, but you can control how it runs by changing the values.
- By default if node synchronization fails five times consecutively, automatic synchronization is disabled.
To keep automatic synchronization enabled, go to...
System Administration | Node Agents | nodeagent | node | Server Infrastructure | Java and Process Management | Process Definition | Java Virtual Machine | Custom Properties | New
...and set...
com.ibm.websphere.management.sync.allowfailure=true
