CoreGroupPolicyManagement

Use Jython to configure and administer policies for high availability groups with wsadmin. Use the commands and parameters in the CoreGroupPolicyManagement group to create, delete, and modify policies.

Use the following commands to define policies for high availability groups. Policies are defined at the core group level and apply only to matching high availability groups associated with the core group of interest.

• createAllActivePolicy
• createMOfNPolicy
• createNoOpPolicy
• createOneOfNPolicy
• createStaticPolicy
• deletePolicy
• modifyPolicy

 

createAllActivePolicy

The createAllActivePolicy command creates a high availability group policy that keeps each of the application components running on each server in the high availability group at all times.

Target object

None.

Required parameters

-coreGroupName

Name of the core group to associate with the new policy. (String, required)

-policyName

Name of the policy. (String, required)Use the following guidelines to specify the policyName parameter:

• Specify valid characters, including numbers, letters, underscores, and spaces.

• Begin the policy name with a number or a letter.

• End the policy name with a number, letter, or underscore.

-matchCriteria

Specifies one or more name and value pairs that the system uses to associate this policy with a high availability group. These pairs must match attributes that are contained in the name of a high availability group before this policy is associated with that group. (java.util.Properties, required)Use the following guidelines to specify the matchCriteria parameter:

• Do not begin the match criteria with the underscore or period characters.

• Do not use the following characters: \/,#$@:;"*?<>|=+&%'

• Specify a value. This parameter can not be null or empty.

Optional parameters

-isAlive

Specifies, in seconds, the interval of time at which the high availability manager checks the health of the active group members that are governed by this policy. If a group member has failed, the server on which the group member resides is restarted. (Integer, optional)

-description

Description for the core group policy. (String, optional)

-customProperties

Specifies additional custom properties for the core group policy. (java.util.Properties, optional)

-quorum

Specifies whether quorum checking is enabled for a group governed by this policy. Quorum is a mechanism that can be used to protect resources that are shared across members of the group in the event of a failure. Quorum is an advanced hardware function and should not be enabled unless you thoroughly understand how to properly use this function. If not used properly, this function can cause data corruption. (Boolean, optional)

Return value

The command does not return output.

Batch mode example usage

• Use Jython string:

  AdminTask.createAllActivePolicy('-coreGroupName myCoreGroup -policyName myPolicy 
   –matchCriteria "[ [type WSAF_SIB][WSAF_SIB_BUS MyBus] ]"')
