Configure work manager custom properties

Use the wsadmin tool to set custom properties for the work manager.

The createDaemonThreads custom property controls whether new threads created by a managed thread factory are daemons. The default is false and means that new threads are not created as daemons.

The lateWorkTime custom property represents the number of seconds beyond which late-starting work must cause an informational message to be logged. The informational message is logged once per work manager. The default is 60 seconds and a value of 0 disables this property.

The lateAlarmTime custom property represents the number of seconds beyond which a late-firing alarm must cause an informational message to be logged. The informational message is logged once per work manager. The default is 5 seconds and a value of 0 disables this property.

Tasks

1. Launch the wsadmin scripting tool using the Jython scripting language.
2. Identify the application server, and assign it to the server variable. Use the AdminConfig object, and the getid command to retrieve the configuration ID of the server and assign it to the <varname> variable:
   • Using Jacl:

     set serv1 [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/Server:server1/]
     

   • Using Jython:

     serv1 = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Node:mynode/Server:server1/')
     

3. Identify the work manager that belongs to the server, and assign it to the work manager variable. Use the AdminConfig object, the list command, and the server variable to retrieve the work manager and assign it to the <varname> variable:
   • Using Jacl:

     set workmanager1 [$AdminConfig list WorkManagerInfo $serv1]
     

   • Using Jython:

     workmanager1 = AdminConfig.list('WorkManagerInfo', 'serv1')
     

4. Create a new J2EEResourcePropertySet property set for the work manager, and assign it to the work manager property set variable. Use the AdminConfig object, the create command, and the work manager variable to create a new J2EEResourcePropertySet and assign it to the <varname> variable:
   • Using Jacl:

     set workmanagerpropset1 [$AdminConfig create J2EEResourcePropertySet $workmanager1 {}]
     

   • Using Jython:

     workmanagerpropset1 = AdminConfig.create('J2EEResourcePropertySet', 'workmanager1', [])
     

5. Create a new J2EEResourceProperty for the J2EEResourcePropertySet, and assign it to the work manager property variable.

   Use the AdminConfig object, the create command, and the property set variable to create a new J2EEResourceProperty for the lateWorkTime custom property and assign it to the <varname> variable:

   • Use Jacl:

     set workmanagerproperty1 [$AdminConfig create J2EEResourceProperty $workmanagerpropset1 {{name "lateWorkTime"}
      {value "120"} {description "Custom lateWorkTime"} {type "java.lang.String"} {required "false"}}]
     

   • Use Jython:

     workmanagerproperty1 = AdminConfig.create('J2EEResourceProperty', 'workmanagerpropset1', '[[name "lateWorkTime"]
      [value "120"] [description "Custom lateWorkTime"] [type "java.lang.String"] [required "false"]]')
     

   The following parameters exist for the new J2EEResourcePropertyproperty:

   Name

   lateWorkTime

   Value

   Number of seconds

   Description

   Specify a description

   Type

   Select java.lang.String

   Use the AdminConfig object, the create command, and the property set variable to create a new J2EEResourceProperty for the lateAlarmTime custom property and assign it to the <varname> variable:

   • Use Jacl:

     set workmanagerproperty2 [$AdminConfig create J2EEResourceProperty $workmanagerpropset1 {{name "lateAlarmTime"}
      {value "10"} {description "Custom lateAlarmTime"} {type "java.lang.String"} {required "false"}}]
     

   • Use Jython:

     workmanagerproperty2 = AdminConfig.create('J2EEResourceProperty', 'workmanagerpropset1', '[[name "lateAlarmTime"]
      [value "10"] [description "Custom lateAlarmTime"] [type "java.lang.String"] [required "false"]]')
     

   The following parameters exist for the new J2EEResourcePropertyproperty:

   Name

   lateAlarmTime

   Value

   Number of seconds

   Description

   Specify a description

   Type

   Select java.lang.String

   Use the AdminConfig object, the create command, and the property set variable to create a new J2EEResourceProperty for the createDaemonThreads custom property and assign it to the <varname> variable:

   • Use Jacl:

     set workmanagerproperty3 [$AdminConfig create J2EEResourceProperty $workmanagerpropset1 {{name "createDaemonThreads"} {value "true"} {description "Custom createDaemonThreads"} {type "java.lang.String"} {required "false"}}]
     

   • Use Jython:

     workmanagerproperty3 = AdminConfig.create('J2EEResourceProperty', 'workmanagerpropset1', '[[name "createDaemonThreads"] [value "true"] [description "Custom createDaemonThreads"] [type "java.lang.String"] [required "false"]]')
     

   The following parameters exist for the new J2EEResourceProperty property:

   Name	createDaemonThreads
   Value	True or False
   Description	Specify a description
   Type	Select java.lang.String

6. Save the configuration changes.

   Enter the following command to save the changes:

   • Using Jacl:

     $AdminConfig save
     

   • Using Jython:

     AdminConfig.save()
     

7. In a network deployment environment only, synchronize the node.

   Use the syncActiveNodes script in the AdminNodeManagement script library to propagate the changes to all active nodes, for example:

   • Using Jacl:

     $AdminNodeManagement syncActiveNodes
     

   • Using Jython:

     AdminNodeManagement.syncActiveNodes()
     

We have created and configured custom properties for the work manager using the wsadmin tool.
