Custom property settings
Configure arbitrary name-value pairs of data, where the name is a property key and the value is a string value used to set internal system configuration properties. Defining a new property enables us to configure a setting beyond that which is available in the administrative console.
Deprecated feature: Setting custom properties at
the server level is deprecated. However, we can specify a custom
property for a server or the deployment manager as a WebSphere variable.
Server scoped WebSphere variables still override any settings specified
at the node scope, or higher, and are added to the was.env file.depfeat
To set a custom properties for either the deployment manager, or an application server, as an environment variable, in the administrative console, click Environment > WebSphere variables > . We can then select the deployment manager or appropriate server from the pull-down list of available servers, nodes and cells and click New to create a new custom property, click on the name of an existing property to change the settings of that custom property, or click Delete to delete an existing property.
Name
Name (or key) for the property.
Each property name must be unique. If the same name is used for multiple properties, the value specified for the first property is used.
Do not start your property names with was. because this prefix is reserved for properties that are predefined in the product.
