Work with application configuration session manager properties files

Using a properties file, we can create, modify, or delete a session manager. Run administrative commands using wsadmin to create or change a properties file for a session manager, validate the properties, and apply them to the configuration.

Start the wsadmin scripting tool

PROFILE_HOME/bin/wsadmin -lang jython

Actions for application configuration session manager properties files

Action	Procedure
create	Set required properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command.
modify	Make required changes to properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command.
delete	To delete the entire ApplicationConfig SessionManager 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 properties file for an ApplicationConfig SessionManager object

1. Open an editor on an ApplicationConfig SessionManager 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. An example ApplicationConfig SessionManager properties file follows:

   
   #
   # Header (ApplicationConfig's Session Manager)
   #
   ResourceType=SessionManager
   ImplementingResourceType=Application
   ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:Deployment=!{applicationName}:ApplicationDeployment=:ApplicationConfig=:SessionManager=
   AttributeInfo=sessionManagement
   #DELETE=true
   #
   
   #
   #Properties
   #
   enableSecurityIntegration=false #boolean,default(false)
   maxWaitTime=5 #integer,default(0)
   context=null
   allowSerializedSessionAccess=false #boolean,default(false)
   enableProtocolSwitchRewriting=false #boolean,default(false)
   enableUrlRewriting=false #boolean,default(false)
   enable=true #boolean,default(false)
   accessSessionOnTimeout=true #boolean,default(true)
   enableSSLTracking=false #boolean,default(false)
   sessionPersistenceMode=NONE #ENUM(DATABASE|DATA_REPLICATION|NONE),default(NONE)
   enableCookies=true #boolean,default(true)
   #
   EnvironmentVariablesSection
   #
   #
   #Environment Variables
   cellName=myCell04
   applicationName=myApp
   

2. Run the applyConfigProperties command to create or change a session manager.

   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 session manager to change.

   We can extract a properties file for an ApplicationConfig SessionManager 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.

Delete the entire session manager object

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]')
