Work with HTTP inbound channel properties files

We can use properties files to create, modify, or delete HTTP inbound channel properties and custom properties.

Determine the changes to make to the HTTP inbound channel configuration or its configuration objects.

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

Using a properties file create, modify, or delete an HTTP inbound channel object. We can also create, modify, or delete HTTP inbound channel custom properties.

Run administrative commands using wsadmin to create or change a properties file for an HTTP inbound channel, validate the properties, and apply them to the configuration.

channel properties files. We can create, modify, and

Action	Procedure
create	Set required properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command.
modify	Run the applyConfigProperties command to modify the value of a custom property.
delete	Run the deleteConfigProperties command to delete a property. If the deleted property has a default value, the property is set to the default value. To delete the entire HTTPInboundChannel object, uncomment #DELETE=true and then run the deleteConfigProperties command.
create Property	Not applicable
delete Property	Not applicable

HTTP inbound channel 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')

• Create or edit an HTTP inbound channel properties file.

  1. Set HTTPInboundChannel object properties as needed.

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

     #
     # Header
     #
     ResourceType=HTTPInboundChannel
     ImplementingResourceType=TransportChannelService
     ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:Node=!{nodeName}:Server=!{serverName}:TransportChannelService=:HTTPInboundChannel=myHTTPIC
     #DELETE=true
     #
      #
     #Properties
     #
     enableLogging=false #boolean,default(false)
     name= myHTTPIC # required
     readTimeout=60 #integer, required,default(60)
     maxFieldSize=32768 #integer,default(32768)
     useChannelAccessLoggingSettings=false #boolean,default(false)
     maxRequestMessageBodySize=-1 #integer,default(-1)
     maximumPersistentRequests=100 #integer, required,default(100)
     discriminationWeight=10 #integer,default(0)
     persistentTimeout=30 #integer, required,default(30)
     maxHeaders=50 #integer,default(50)
     keepAlive=true #boolean,default(true)
     useChannelErrorLoggingSettings=false #boolean,default(false)
     useChannelFRCALoggingSettings=false #boolean,default(false)
     writeTimeout=60 #integer, required,default(60)
      #
     EnvironmentVariablesSection
     #
     #
     #Environment Variables
     cellName=myCell04
     serverName=server1
     nodeName=myNode05

  2. Run the applyConfigProperties command to change an HTTP inbound channel 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'])

• Create or edit HTTP inbound channel custom properties.

  1. Set HTTPInboundChannel custom properties as needed.

     Open an editor on an HTTPInboundChannel properties file. Modify the Environment Variables section to match the system and set any property value that needs to be changed. To specify a custom property, edit the AttributeInfo value and properties values; for example:

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

  2. Run the applyConfigProperties command.

• If we no longer need the HTTP inbound channel or an existing custom property, we can delete the entire HTTP inbound channel object or the custom property.

  • To delete the entire object, specify DELETE=true in the header section of the properties file and 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 configure and manage the HTTP inbound channel object and its properties.

What to do next

Save the changes to the configuration.
