We can use properties files to modify or delete plug-in server cluster properties of web servers.
Determine the changes to make to your plug-in server cluster properties configuration or its configuration objects.
Start the wsadmin scripting tool. To start wsadmin using the Jython language, run the wsadmin -lang jython command from the bin directory of the server profile. Using a properties file, we can modify or delete a plug-in server cluster object.
Run administrative commands using wsadmin to change a properties file for a plug-in server cluster, validate the properties, and apply them to your configuration.
Actions for plug-in server cluster properties files. We can modify or delete plug-in server cluster objects.
Action Procedure create Not applicable modify Edit properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command to modify the value of a custom property. delete Specify the properties to delete in the properties file and then run the deleteConfigProperties command to delete a property. If the deleted property has a default value, the property is set to the default value. create Property Not applicable delete Property Not applicable Optionally, we can use interactive mode with the commands:
AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')
- Modify existing plug-in server cluster properties.
- Obtain a properties file for the plug-in server cluster to change.
We can extract a PluginServerClusterProperties properties file using the extractConfigProperties command.
- Open the properties file in an editor and change the custom properties as needed.
Open an editor and specify plug-in server cluster custom properties in a properties file. We can copy the following example properties into an editor and modify the properties as needed for the situation. To specify a custom property, edit the AttributeInfo value and properties values. Ensure the environment variables in the properties file match the system.
# # Header # ResourceType=PluginServerClusterProperties ImplementingResourceType=WebServer ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:Node=!{nodeName}:Server=!{serverName}:WebServer=:PluginProperties=:PluginServerClusterProperties= AttributeInfo=pluginServerClusterProperties # # #Properties # RetryInterval=60 #integer,default(60) PostSizeLimit=-1 #integer,default(-1) PostBufferSize=64 #integer,default(64) LoadBalance=ROUND_ROBIN #ENUM(ROUND_ROBIN|RANDOM),default(ROUND_ROBIN) CloneSeparatorChange=false #boolean,default(false) RemoveSpecialHeaders=true #boolean,default(true) # EnvironmentVariablesSection # # #Environment Variables cellName=myNode04Cell nodeName=myNode04 serverName=IHS
- Run the applyConfigProperties command to change a plug-in server cluster properties configuration.
Running the applyConfigProperties command applies the properties file to the configuration. In this Jython example, the optional -reportFileName parameter produces a report named report.txt:
AdminTask.applyConfigProperties(['-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt'])
- Delete plug-in server cluster properties.
To delete one or more properties, specify only those properties to delete in the properties file and run deleteConfigProperties.
AdminTask.deleteConfigProperties('[-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt]')
Results
We can use the properties file to manage the plug-in server cluster object and its properties.
Save the changes to your configuration.
