Work with ORB properties files

We can use properties files to change ORB (ORB) properties and associated interceptors, plug-ins, properties and thread pool attributes under a server.

Determine the changes to make to your Object Request Broker configuration.

Start wsadmin.sh. To start wsadmin using the Jython language, run...

WP_PROFILE/bin/wsadmin -lang jython

Use a properties file, you can create, modify, or delete ORB configuration properties.

Run administrative commands using wsadmin to change a properties file for an Object Request Broker, validate the properties, and apply them to the configuration.

Actions for Object Request Broker properties files. We can create, modify, and delete ORB properties.

Action	Procedure
create	Not applicable
modify	Edit properties and then run applyConfigProperties.
delete	Not applicable
create Property, Plug-ins, or Interceptors	Set properties and then run applyConfigProperties.
delete Property, Plug-ins, or Interceptors	Specify those properties to delete in the properties file and then run deleteConfigProperties.

Optionally, you can use interactive mode with the commands:

AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')

Procedure

• Create ORB properties.

  1. Specify ObjectRequestBroker properties in a properties file.

     Open an editor and specify ORB properties in a properties file. We can copy the following example properties into an editor and modify the properties as needed for your situation. We can use properties files to change Object Request Broker properties and associated interceptors, plug-ins, properties and thread pool attributes under a server.

  2. Run applyConfigProperties to create an ObjectRequestBroker configuration.

     Run applyConfigProperties applies the properties file to the configuration. In this Jython example, the optional -reportFileName parameter produces a report named report.txt:

     AdminTask.applyConfigProperties(['-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt'])
     

• Modify existing ORB properties.
  1. Obtain a properties file for the ORB to change.

     We can extract a properties file for an ObjectRequestBroker using the extractConfigProperties command.

  2. Open the properties file in an editor and change the properties as needed.

     Ensure that the environment variables in the properties file match the system.

  3. Run applyConfigProperties.

• Delete the ORB properties.

  To delete one or more properties, specify only those properties to delete in the properties file and run deleteConfigProperties.

  AdminTask.deleteConfigProperties('[-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt]')
  

Results

We can use the properties file to configure and manage ORB.

What to do next

Save the changes to the configuration.
Extract properties files using wsadmin.sh
Create server, cluster, application, or authorization group objects using properties files and wsadmin scripting
Delete server, cluster, application, or authorization group objects using properties files
