Work with TCP inbound channel properties files

Use properties files to create, modify, or delete TCP inbound channel properties and custom properties.

Determine the changes to make to your TCP inbound channel configuration or its configuration objects.

Use a properties file to create, modify, or delete a TCP inbound channel object. We can also create, modify, or delete TCP inbound channel custom properties.

Run administrative commands using wsadmin to create or change a properties file for a TCP inbound channel, 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 TCPInboundChannel object, uncomment #DELETE=true and then run the deleteConfigProperties command.
create Property	Not applicable
delete Property	Not applicable

Action	Procedure
create	Not applicable
modify	Edit properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command to modify the value of an existing custom property.
delete	Not applicable
create Property	Set properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command to create a custom property.
delete Property	Properties to delete in the properties file and then run the deleteConfigProperties command to delete an existing custom property. The properties file must contain only the properties to be deleted.

Optionally, we can use interactive mode with the commands:

AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')

Tasks

• Create or edit a TCP inbound channel properties file.

  1. Set TCPInboundChannel object properties as needed.

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

     #
     # Header
     #
     ResourceType=TCPInboundChannel
     ImplementingResourceType=TransportChannelService
     ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:Node=!{nodeName}:Server=!{serverName}:TransportChannelService=:TCPInboundChannel=myTCPIC
     AttributeInfo=transportChannels
     #DELETE=true
     #
     
     #
     #Properties
     #
     maxOpenConnections=20000 #integer,required,default(20000)
     name= myTCPIC #required
     hostNameIncludeList={}
     hostNameExcludeList={}
     endPointName=WC_adminhost
     inactivityTimeout=60 #integer,required,default(60)
     discriminationWeight=0 #integer,default(0)
     addressIncludeList={}
     addressExcludeList={}
     threadPool=WebContainer #ObjectName(ThreadPool)
     
     #
     EnvironmentVariablesSection
     #
     #
     #Environment Variables
     cellName=myCell04
     serverName=server1
     nodeName=myNode05
     

  2. Run the applyConfigProperties command to change a TCP inbound channel 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'])
     

• Create or edit TCP inbound channel custom properties.

  1. Set TCPInboundChannel custom properties as needed.

     Open an editor on a TCPInboundChannel properties file. odify 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; for example:

     #
     # Header
     #
     ResourceType=TCPInboundChannel
     ImplementingResourceType=TransportChannelService
     ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:Node=!{nodeName}:Server=!{serverName}:TransportChannelService=:TCPInboundChannel=myTCPIC
     AttributeInfo=properties(name,value)
     #
     
     #
     #Properties
     #
     existingProp=newValue
     newProp=newValue
     
     #
     EnvironmentVariablesSection
     #
     #
     #Environment Variables
     cellName=myCell04
     serverName=server1
     nodeName=myNode05
     

  2. Run the applyConfigProperties command.

• If we no longer need the TCP inbound channel or an existing custom property, we can delete the entire TCP inbound channel 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 TCP inbound channel object and its properties.
