Work with scheduler configuration properties files

Use properties files to create, modify, or delete scheduler configuration properties and custom properties.

Determine the changes to make to your scheduler configuration or its 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.

Use a properties file to create, modify, or delete a scheduler configuration object. We can also create, modify, or delete scheduler configuration custom properties.

Run administrative commands using wsadmin to create or change a properties file for a scheduler configuration, 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 SchedulerConfiguration 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')

Tasks

1. Create a scheduler configuration properties file.

   1. Set SchedulerConfiguration properties as needed.

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

      #
      # Header
      #
      ResourceType=SchedulerConfiguration
      ImplementingResourceType=SchedulerConfiguration
      ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:SchedulerProvider=mySchedulerProvider:SchedulerConfiguration=jndiName#mySchedulerJndiName
      #DELETE=true
      #
      
      #
      #Properties
      #
      securityRole=null
      tablePrefix=null #required
      referenceable=null
      name=myScheduler #required
      pollInterval=30 #integer,required,default(30)
      category=null
      datasourceJNDIName=null #required
      workManagerInfo=null
      loginConfigName=null
      providerType=null
      workManagerInfoJNDIName=null
      useAdminRoles=false #boolean,default(false)
      jndiName=mySchedulerJndiName #required
      datasourceAlias=null
      #provider=SchedulerProvider#ObjectName(SchedulerProvider),readonly
      description=null
      #
      EnvironmentVariablesSection
      #
      #
      #Environment Variables
      cellName=myCell04
      

   2. Run the applyConfigProperties command to create or change a scheduler 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 configuration to change.

      We can extract a properties file for a SchedulerConfiguration 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 configuration or an existing custom property, we can delete the entire scheduler configuration 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.

Use the properties file to configure and manage the scheduler configuration object and its properties.

What to do next

Save the changes to the configuration.
