Proxy cluster member template settings

Modify proxy cluster member template attributes.

From the admin console, click...

        Servers > Clusters > Proxy server clusters > proxy_cluster_name > Cluster members > Templates > cluster_member_template_name. The following attributes are displayed:

Name

Display the name of the proxy cluster member template.

Run in development mode

Enable this option may reduce the startup time of a proxy server. This might include JVM settings, such as disabling bytecode verification and reducing Just in Time (JIT) compiler compilation costs. Do not enable this setting on production servers.

(iSeries) This option is not supported in an i5/OS™ environment.

To use the JVM settings, -Xverify and -Xquickstart, on startup. After selecting this option, save the configuration and restart the server to activate development mode.

The default setting for this option is false, which indicates that the server is not started in development mode. Setting this option to true specifies that the server is started in development mode, using settings that decrease server startup time.

Information	Value
Data type	Boolean
Default	false

Parallel start

Specifies whether to start the proxy server on multiple threads. When we start the proxy server on multiple threads, the proxy server components, services, and applications start in parallel rather than sequentially, which might shorten the startup time.

The default setting for this option is true, which indicates that the proxy server uses multiple threads when it starts. Setting this option to false specifies that the proxy server uses a single thread when it starts, which might lengthen startup time.

Information	Value
Data type	Boolean
Default	true

Start components as needed

Select this property if we want the proxy server components started as needed by an application running on this proxy server.

When this property is selected, proxy server components are dynamically started as needed. When this property is not selected, all of the proxy server components are started during the startup process. Therefore, selecting this property usually results in improved startup time because fewer components are started during the startup process.

If we are running other WebSphere products on top of the Application Server, make sure that those other products support this functionality before we select this property.
