Work with plug-in server cluster properties files

We can use properties files to modify or delete plug-in server cluster properties of web servers.

Determine the changes to make to your plug-in server cluster properties 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 modify or delete a plug-in server cluster object.

Run administrative commands using wsadmin to change a properties file for a plug-in server cluster, validate the properties, and apply them to the configuration.

Actions for plug-in server cluster properties files. We can modify or delete plug-in server cluster objects.

Action	Procedure
create	Not applicable
modify	Edit properties and then run applyConfigProperties to modify the value of a custom property.
delete	Specify the properties to delete in the properties file and then run deleteConfigProperties to delete a property. If the deleted property has a default value, the property is set to the default value.
create Property	Not applicable
delete Property	Not applicable

Optionally, you can use interactive mode with the commands:

AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')

Procedure

• Modify existing plug-in server cluster properties.
  1. Obtain a properties file for the plug-in server cluster to change.

     We can extract a PluginServerClusterProperties properties file using the extractConfigProperties command.

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

     Open an editor and specify plug-in server cluster custom properties in a properties file. You can copy the following example properties into an editor and modify the properties as needed for your situation.

     To specify a custom property, edit the AttributeInfo value and properties values. Ensure that the environment variables in the properties file match the system.

     #
     # Header
     #
     ResourceType=PluginServerClusterProperties
     ImplementingResourceType=WebServer
     ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:Node=!{nodeName}:Server=!{serverName}:WebServer=:PluginProperties=:PluginServerClusterProperties=
     AttributeInfo=pluginServerClusterProperties
     #
     
     #
     #Properties
     #
     RetryInterval=60 #integer,default(60)
     PostSizeLimit=-1 #integer,default(-1)
     ServerIOTimeoutRetry=-1 #integer, default(-1)
     PostBufferSize=64 #integer,default(64)
     LoadBalance=ROUND_ROBIN #ENUM(ROUND_ROBIN|RANDOM),default(ROUND_ROBIN)
     CloneSeparatorChange=false #boolean,default(false)
     RemoveSpecialHeaders=true #boolean,default(true)
     
     #
     EnvironmentVariablesSection
     #
     #
     #Environment Variables
     cellName=myNode04Cell
     nodeName=myNode04
     serverName=IHS
     

  3. Run applyConfigProperties to change a plug-in server cluster properties 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'])
     

• Delete plug-in server cluster 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 plug-in server cluster object and its properties.

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
