Work with data replication service properties files

Overview

1. Extract DRSSettings.properties

   We can extract a properties file for a DRSSettings object using the extractConfigProperties command.

   c:\IBM\WebSphere\wp_profile\bin\wsadmin -lang jython -f extractConfigProperties.jython -username portaladmin -password foo
   • Edit DRSSettings.properties file

   • Modify the Environment Variables section to match the target system.
     # Environment Variables Section
     #
     # Environment Variables
     cellName=myCell04

   • Set any property value that needs to be changed.
     #
     # SubSection 1.0.4 # ObjectCacheInstance's's DRSSettings
     #
     ResourceType=DRSSettings
     ImplementingResourceType=ObjectCacheInstance
     ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:ServerCluster=!{clusterName}:CacheProvider=ID#CacheProvider_105:ObjectCacheInstance=ID#ObjectCacheInstance_143:DRSSettings=ID#DRSSettings_145
     AttributeInfo=cacheReplication
     #
     
     #
     #Properties
     #
     overrideHostConnectionPoints={}
     ids={} #integer*
     dataReplicationMode=BOTH #ENUM(SERVER|CLIENT|BOTH),default(BOTH)
     messageBrokerDomainName=PortalCluster
     preferredLocalDRSBrokerName=null
     
     
     #
     # SubSection 1.0.4.1 # cacheReplication properties
     #
     ResourceType=DRSSettings
     ImplementingResourceType=ObjectCacheInstance
     ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:ServerCluster=!{clusterName}:CacheProvider=ID#CacheProvider_105:ObjectCacheInstance=ID#ObjectCacheInstance_143:DRSSettings=ID#DRSSettings_145
     AttributeInfo=properties(name,value)
     #
     
     #
     #Properties
     #

   • To set a new property...
     #Properties
     #
     existingProp=newValue
     newProp=value
     #
     EnvironmentVariablesSection
     #
     #
     #Environment Variables
     cellName=myNode04Cell

   • Start wsadmin...
     wsadmin -lang jython
     AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')

   • To create or change a DRS configuration.
     AdminTask.applyConfigProperties(['-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt'])

     In this Jython example, the optional -reportFileName parameter produces a report named report.txt:

   • To delete the entire object, specify DELETE=true in the header section of the properties file, then run...
     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.
