Work with activity session service properties files

We can use properties files to change activity session service configuration objects and custom properties.

Determine the changes to make to the activity session service configuration objects or custom properties.

From the server profile bin directory, run wsadmin -lang jython

Using a properties file modify or delete an activity session service object. We can also create, modify, or delete activity session service custom properties.

Run administrative commands using wsadmin to change a properties file for an activity session service, validate the properties, and apply them to the configuration.

service configuration objects. We can modify and delete

Action	Procedure
create	Not applicable
modify	Edit properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command.
delete	Run the deleteConfigProperties command. Deleting a property sets the default value, if there is a default value for the property.
create Property	Not applicable
delete Property	Not applicable

activity session service custom properties. We can create,

Action	Procedure
create	Not applicable
modify	Edit properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command to modify the value of an existing custom property.
delete	Not applicable
create Property	Set properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command to create a custom property.
delete Property	Specify the properties to delete in the properties file and then run the deleteConfigProperties command to delete an existing custom property. The properties file must contain only the properties to be deleted.

Optionally, we can use interactive mode with the commands:

AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')

• Edit an activity session service properties file.

  1. Set ActivitySessionService object properties as needed.

     Open an editor on an ActivitySessionService properties file. Modify the Environment Variables section to match the system and set any property value that needs to be changed. An example ActivitySessionService properties file follows:

     #
     # Header
     #
     ResourceType=ActivitySessionService
     ImplementingResourceType=PMEServerExtension
     ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:Node=!{nodeName}:Server=!{serverName}:PMEServerExtension=:ActivitySessionService=
     AttributeInfo=activitySessionService
     #
      #
     #Properties
     #
     enable=false #boolean,default(false)
     context=null
     defaultTimeout=300 #integer, required,default(300)
      #
     EnvironmentVariablesSection
     #
     #
     #Environment Variables
     cellName=myCell04
     serverName=server1
     nodeName=myNode05

  2. Set ActivitySessionService custom properties as needed.

     To specify a custom property, edit the AttributeInfo value and properties values; for example:

     #
     # Header
     #
     ResourceType=ActivitySessionService
     ImplementingResourceType=PMEServerExtension
     ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:Node=!{nodeName}:Server=!{serverName}:PMEServerExtension=:ActivitySessionService=
     AttributeInfo=properties(name,value)
     #
      #
     #Properties
     #
     existingProp=value
     newProp=newValue
      #
     EnvironmentVariablesSection
     #
     #
     #Environment Variables
     cellName=myCell04
     serverName=server1
     nodeName=myNode05

  3. Run the applyConfigProperties command to change an activity session service configuration.

     Running the applyConfigProperties command 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'])

• If we no longer need the activity session service or an existing custom property, we can delete the entire activity session service object or the custom property.

  • To delete the entire object, run the deleteConfigProperties command for example:
    AdminTask.deleteConfigProperties('[-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt]')

  • To delete a custom property, specify only the property to be deleted in the properties file and then run the deleteConfigProperties command.

Results

We can use the properties file to manage the activity session service object and its properties.

What to do next

Save the changes to the configuration.
