Time mapping settings

We can configure time mapping settings for the proxy server that set routing rules to be in effect during specific time intervals. These settings can be specified for application server members or for generic server cluster members.

From the admin console, click...

        Servers > Server Types > WebSphere proxy servers > proxy_server > Proxy Server Properties > Proxy actions > routing_action_name > time_mapping.

Select Proxy Virtual Host Configuration under Proxy Actions and create a new routing action name if we have not already configured one.

With the time mapping panel, we can make specific servers active or inactive during specified time intervals.

Start time

Start time, in hours and minutes, for when the routing action being created is valid. The time entered for this field uses a 24-hour clock.

End time

The end time, in hours and minutes, for when the routing action being created is no longer valid. The time entered for this field uses a 24-hour clock.
