Work with data replication properties files

We can use properties files to create, modify, or delete data replication properties and custom properties.

Before beginning

Determine the changes to make to your data replication 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 data replication object. We can also create, modify, or delete data replication custom properties.

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

Actions for data replication properties files. We can create, modify, and delete data replication properties.

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 DataReplication 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 data replication properties file.

   1. Set DataReplication properties as needed.

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

      #
      # Header
      #
      ResourceType=DataReplication
      ImplementingResourceType=DataReplicationDomain
      ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:DataReplicationDomain=myDRDomain:DataReplication=messageBrokerName#myMessageBroker
      AttributeInfo=defaultDataReplicationSettings
      #DELETE=true
      #
      
      #
      #Properties
      #
      password=null
      userId=null
      requestTimeout=5 #integer,default(5)
      encryptionKeyValue=null
      useSSL=false #boolean,default(false)
      numberOfReplicas=1 #integer,default(1)
      messageBrokerName=myMessageBroker
      encryptionType=NONE #ENUM(DES|TRIPLE_DES|NONE),default(NONE)
      #
      EnvironmentVariablesSection
      #
      #
      #Environment Variables
      cellName=myCell04

   2. Run the applyConfigProperties command to create or change a data replication 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 data replication object to change.

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

   2. Open the properties file in an editor and change the properties as needed.

      Ensure the environment variables in the properties file match your system.

   3. Run the applyConfigProperties command.

3. If you no longer need the data replication or an existing custom property, we can delete the entire data replication 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 manage the data replication object and its properties.

What to do next

Save the changes to your configuration.
