Work with work manager information properties files

We can use properties files to create, modify, or delete work manager information properties and custom properties.

Determine the changes to make to the work manager information configuration or its configuration objects.

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

Using a properties file, we can create, modify, or delete a work manager information object. We can also create, modify, or delete work manager information custom properties.

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

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 WorkManagerInfo 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')

• Create a work manager information properties file.

  1. Set WorkManagerInfo properties as needed.

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

     #
     # Header
     #
     ResourceType=WorkManagerInfo
     ImplementingResourceType=WorkManagerProvider
     ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:WorkManagerProvider=myWorkManagerProvider:WorkManagerInfo=jndiName#myWorkManagerJndiName
     #DELETE=true
     #
      #
     #Properties
     #
     isDistributable=false #boolean,default(false)
     daemonTranClass=null
     providerType=null #readonly
     threadPriority=5 #integer, required,default(5)
     workReqQSize=0 #integer,default(0)
     minThreads=1 #integer, required,default(0)
     jndiName=myWorkManagerJndiName # required
     maxThreads=10 #integer, required,default(2)
     isGrowable=false #boolean,default(true)
     category=Default
     description=WebSphere Default WorkManager
     serviceNames={AppProfileService,com.ibm.ws.i18n,security,UserWorkArea,zos.wlm}
     defTranClass=null
     workTimeout=0 #integer,default(0)
     #provider=WorkManagerProvider#ObjectName(WorkManagerProvider),readonly
     referenceable=null
     numAlarmThreads=5 #integer, required,default(2)
     workReqQFullAction=0 #integer,default(0)
     name=myWorkManager # required
     #
     EnvironmentVariablesSection
     #
     #
     #Environment Variables
     cellName=myCell04

  2. Run the applyConfigProperties command to create or change a work manager information 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 an existing properties file.

  1. Obtain a properties file for the work manager information to change.

     We can extract a properties file for a WorkManagerInfo 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.

• If we no longer need the work manager information or an existing custom property, we can delete the entire work manager information 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 work manager information object and its properties.

What to do next

Save the changes to the configuration.
