Portal, V6.1
Set service configuration properties
IBM WebSphere Portal comprises a framework of services to accommodate the different scenarios that portals need to address. You can configure some of these services.
You set the service configuration properties by using the administrative console. For a list of the services refer to Overview of configuration services.
The configuration for each service is stored in and accessible through the IBM WAS Administrative Console. Each service is registered as a separate Resource Environment Provider with custom properties that represent the service configuration. Initially in a default installation, only the most common properties are exposed as custom properties. You might need to add additional properties with key and value as required, or you might want to remove properties that can be used with their default values or are no longer required.
To set configuration service properties...
- From the WAS admin console...
Resources | Resource Environment Providers | | Resource Environment Providers | [Browse nodes | Browse Clusters] | [node | cluster]- Select the service to which you want to make changes.
In the list the services are preceded by a prefix that is made up of the letters WP and a blank space, for example WP ConfigService.
- Click Custom Properties.
- Do one of the following as required:
- Select a property and change its value.
- Select one or more properties for removal.
- Create a new property. If you create a new property, use java.lang.String as its type and do not mark the property as required. Otherwise you will not be able to delete it later.
- When you are done, click Save at the top of the screen under Message(s).
- Click Save again when prompted to confirm your changes.
- If running a cluster configuration, replicate your changes to the cluster.
- Restart the server to make the changes become effective.
You can also set the properties in the properties files and enable them by using a configuration task.
This option for setting service configuration properties is not available for all properties.
