Set service configuration properties


Overview

WebSphere Portal comprises a framework of services to accommodate the different scenarios that portals need to address. Services are available for both WebSphere Portal and IBM WCM. You can configure some of these 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.


Set configuration service properties

  1. Select the appropriate console, depending on environment:

    • If running standalone, use the local administrative console.
    • If installed in a cluster, use the console of the dmgr.

  2. Start the administrative console

    .and go to...

      Resources | Resources Environment | Resource Environment Providers

    • Select the appropriate node or cluster from the scopes pull-down list, or uncheck the Show Scope selection drop-down check box

    • Select one of the following options, depending on the portal environment:

      • If the portal is running as a single server, select Browse Nodes and select the node.
      • If the portal is installed in a cluster, select Browse Clusters and select the portal cluster.

  6. Do one of the following as required:

    • Select a property and change its value.
    • Select one or more properties for removal.

  7. When you are done, click Save at the top of the screen under Message(s).

  8. Click Save again when prompted to confirm changes.

  9. If running a cluster configuration, replicate changes to the cluster.
