Enable automated web server configuration processing
The web server plug-in configuration service is selected by default. The service automatically generates the plug-in configuration file whenever the web server environment changes, with a few exceptions. For example, the plug-in configuration file is regenerated whenever one of the following activities occurs:
- A new application is deployed on an associated application server
- The web server definition is saved
- An application is removed from an associated application server
- A new virtual host is defined
In WAS ND configurations, the plug-in configuration file does not regenerate when:
- A cluster member is added to a cluster.
- TCP channel settings are updated for an application server.
By default, this option is selected. Clear the field to disable automated web server configuration processing.
