Work with PMI service properties files
We can use properties files to create or change Performance Monitoring Infrastructure (PMI) service properties under a server.
Determine the changes to make to your PMI service configuration or its configuration objects.
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 a PMI service configuration properties.
Run administrative commands using wsadmin to change a properties file for a PMI service, validate the properties, and apply them to the configuration.
Actions for PMI service properties files. We can create, modify, and delete PMI service properties.
Action Procedure create Not applicable modify Edit properties and then run applyConfigProperties. delete Not applicable create Property Set properties and then run applyConfigProperties. delete Property Specify the 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 PMI service properties.
- Specify PMIService properties in a properties file.
Open an editor and specify PMI service properties under a server in a properties file. We can copy the following example properties into an editor and modify the properties as needed for your situation. The example shows a property under PMIService with name myName and value myVal.
# # Header # ResourceType=PMIService ImplementingResourceType=PMIService ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:Node=!{nodeName}:Server=!{serverName}:PMIService= AttributeInfo=services # # #Properties # synchronizedUpdate=false #boolean,default(false) enable=true #boolean,default(false) context=!{serverName} statisticSet=basic initialSpecLevel= # # Header # ResourceType=PMIService ImplementingResourceType=PMIService ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:Node=!{nodeName}:Server=!{serverName}:PMIService= AttributeInfo=properties(name,value) # #Properties # myName=myVal # EnvironmentVariablesSection # #Environment Variables cellName=WASCell06 serverName=myServer nodeName=WASNode04- Run applyConfigProperties to create a PMIService 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 PMI service properties.
- Obtain a properties file for the PMI service that you want to change.
We can extract a properties file for a PMIService using the extractConfigProperties command.
- 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.
- Run applyConfigProperties.
- Delete the PMI service 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 the PMI service.
What to do next
