Work with scheduler provider properties files

We can use properties files to create, modify, or delete scheduler provider properties and custom properties.

Determine the changes to make to the scheduler provider configuration or its configuration objects.

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 a scheduler provider object. We can also create, modify, or delete scheduler provider custom properties.

Run administrative commands using wsadmin to create or change a properties file for a scheduler provider, validate the properties, and apply them to the configuration.

properties files. We can create, modify, and delete

Action	Procedure
create	Set required properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command.
modify	Edit properties and then 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 SchedulerProvider object, uncomment #DELETE=true and then run the deleteConfigProperties command.
create Property	Not applicable
delete Property	Not applicable

Optionally, we can use interactive mode with the commands:

AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')

1. Create a scheduler provider properties file.

   1. Set SchedulerProvider properties as needed.

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

      #
      # Header
      #
      ResourceType=SchedulerProvider
      ImplementingResourceType=SchedulerProvider
      ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:SchedulerProvider=mySchedulerProvider
      #DELETE=true
      #
       #
      #Properties
      #
      classpath={}
      name=mySchedulerProvider # required
      isolatedClassLoader=false #boolean,default(false)
      nativepath={}
      description=Default Scheduler Provider providerType=null #readonly
      #
      EnvironmentVariablesSection
      #
      #
      #Environment Variables
      cellName=myCell04

   2. Run the applyConfigProperties command to create or change a scheduler provider 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'])

2. Modify an existing properties file.

   1. Obtain a properties file for the scheduler provider to change.

      We can extract a properties file for a SchedulerProvider object 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.

3. If we no longer need the scheduler provider or an existing custom property, we can delete the entire scheduler provider 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 scheduler provider object and its properties.

What to do next

Save the changes to the configuration.
