Work with Object Request Broker properties files

We can use properties files to change Object Request Broker (ORB) properties and associated interceptors, plug-ins, properties and thread pool attributes under a server.

Determine the changes to make to the Object Request Broker configuration.

Start the wsadmin scripting tool. To start wsadmin using the Jython language, run the wsadmin -lang jython command from the bin directory of the server profile.

Using a properties file, we can create, modify, or delete Object Request Broker configuration properties.

Run administrative commands using wsadmin to change a properties file for an Object Request Broker, validate the properties, and apply them to the configuration.

Broker properties files. We can create, modify, and

Action	Procedure
create	Not applicable
modify	Edit properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command.
delete	Not applicable
create Property, Plug-ins, or Interceptors	Set properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command.
delete Property, Plug-ins, or Interceptors	Specify those properties to delete in the properties file and then run the deleteConfigProperties command.

Optionally, we can use interactive mode with the commands:

AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')

• Create Object Request Broker properties.

  1. Specify ObjectRequestBroker properties in a properties file.

     Open an editor and specify Object Request Broker properties in a properties file. We can copy the following example properties into an editor and modify the properties as needed for your situation. We can use properties files to change Object Request Broker properties and associated interceptors, plug-ins, properties and thread pool attributes under a server.

  2. Run the applyConfigProperties command to create an ObjectRequestBroker 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'])

• Modify existing Object Request Broker properties.

  1. Obtain a properties file for the Object Request Broker to change.

     We can extract a properties file for an ObjectRequestBroker using the extractConfigProperties command.

  2. 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.

  3. Run the applyConfigProperties command.

• Delete the Object Request Broker 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 Object Request Broker.

What to do next

Save the changes to the configuration.
