iSeries unique administrative console features

 

When compared to versions of WAS that run on other platforms, the WAS for iSeries treats the following configuration objects and properties of objects (all of which are found in the administrative console) in unique ways.

 

Application servers

• Name

  This name is also used for the iSeries job name, and is listed on the Configuration tab of the Application Servers page. iSeries job names are restricted to 10 characters in length, and must consist of alphanumeric and a few special characters. If you specify an application server name that is not consistent with these iSeries job name restrictions, the job name will compress leading and trailing blanks and replace unsupported characters with an underscore.

• Runtime

  The Runtime tab displays runtime attributes of an application server. This tab is only visible if the selected application server is running.

• Process ID

  Indicates the process ID of a server. For a node on an iSeries server this is the qualified job name of the application server.

• Java Virtual Machine

  The Java Virtual Machine page contains advanced settings for an application server's Java virtual machine. To view this page, click...

  appserver | Process Definition | Java Virtual Machine

  Initial heap size must be specified on OS/400. Start with the default value of 96MB, and increase if needed.

  Maximum heap size on OS/400 should always be left unspecified (or 0).

• Process Execution

  The Process Execution page contains advanced process execution settings for an application server. To view this page, click...

  appserver | Process Definition | Process Execution

• Run As User

  Specifies the iSeries user profile under which the application server job runs. This property is displayed on the Configuration tab of the Process Execution page.

  If left blank, the default is to run under the QEJBSVR user profile. If you specify an iSeries user profile name other than the default user profile name (QEJBSVR) for the application server User ID property, the following attributes for the application server job are set to match the settings for the specified user profile name.

  To specify an iSeries user profile other than QEJBSVR to run the application server under specific user profiles.

  To view the settings for a user profile, enter the Display User Profile (DSPUSRPRF) command on an OS/400 command line. Some of the attributes come from the job description specified in the user profile. Use the Display Job Description (DSPJOBD) CL command to view the current settings for the job description.

  • Coded character set identifier
  • Country or region identifier
  • Current library
  • Character identifier control
  • Initial library list
  • Job accounting code
  • Language identifier
  • Locale
  • Output queue name
  • Output queue priority
  • Print text
  • Sort sequence
  • Status message handling

• Run As Group:

  This property is ignored on iSeries.

• Run In Process Group:

  This property is ignored on iSeries.

• Performance monitoring service

  Specifies settings for performance monitoring, including enablement and monitoring levels. To view this page, click Performance monitoring service on the application server's page.

 

JDBC Provider

The following DB2 UDBC for iSeries JDBC drivers are supported...

• Native - V5R2 and later
• Native XA - V5R2 and later
• Toolbox
• Toolbox XA

The Classpath and Implementation Classname are filled in automatically based on the JDBC provider that you select, and should not be changed.

Data Source

To view the properties of a data source, select the JDBC provider that includes that data source. On the JDBC provider's page, click Data sources, then click the name of the data source.

• Datasource Helper Classname:

  Filled in automatically based on the JDBC provider, and should not be changed.

• Custom Properties:

  The custom properties that are required and supported vary for each JDBC driver. For a list of custom properties for the IBM Toolbox for Java JDBC driver In the iSeries Information Center, see the IBM Toolbox for Java JDBC properties page in Programming:

  • For V5R1
  • For V5R2

  For a list of custom properties for the iSeries Native JDBC driver, see the AS/400 Native JDBC driver Frequently Asked Questions.

 

Node Agent Server

Note: Node agent servers are applicable only in the Network Deployment environment.

• Runtime

  The Runtime tab displays runtime attributes of a node agent. This tab is only available if the selected node agent server is running.

• Process ID:

  Indicates the process ID of a node agent job. For a node on an iSeries server this is the qualified job name of the node agent job.

 

Deployment Manager

Note: Deployment managers are applicable only in the Network Deployment environment.

Runtime

The Runtime tab displays runtime attributes of a deployment manager. This tab is only available if the selected deployment manager is running.

Process ID:

Indicates the process ID of a deployment manager. For a node on an iSeries server this is the qualified job name of the deployment manager job.
