Work with cache provider properties files

We can use properties files to create, modify, or delete cache provider properties and custom properties.

Determine the changes to make to your cache provider configuration or its configuration objects.

Start wsadmin.sh.

To start wsadmin using the Jython language, run...

WP_PROFILE/bin/wsadmin -lang jython

Use a properties file, you can create, modify, or delete a cache provider object. We can also create, modify, or delete cache provider custom properties.

Run administrative commands using wsadmin to create or change a properties file for a cache provider, validate the properties, and apply them to the configuration.

Actions for cache provider properties files. We can create, modify, and delete cache provider properties.

Action	Procedure
create	Set required properties and then run applyConfigProperties.
modify	Edit properties and then run applyConfigProperties to modify the value of a custom property.
delete	Run deleteConfigProperties to delete a property. If the deleted property has a default value, the property is set to the default value. To delete the entire CacheProvider object, uncomment #DELETE=true and then run deleteConfigProperties.
create Property	Not applicable
delete Property	Not applicable

Optionally, you can use interactive mode with the commands:

AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')

Procedure

• Create or edit a cache provider properties file.

  1. Set CacheProvider properties as needed.

     Open an editor on a CacheProvider properties file. Modify the Environment Variables section to match the system and set any property value that needs to be changed. An example CacheProvider properties file follows:

     #
     # Header
     #
     #
     ResourceType=CacheProvider
     ImplementingResourceType=CacheProvider
     ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:CacheProvider=myCacheProvider
     #DELETE=true
     #
     
     #
     #Properties
     #
     classpath={}
     name=myCacheProvider #required
     isolatedClassLoader=false #boolean,default(false)
     nativepath={}
     description=Default Cache Provider
     providerType=null
     
     #
     EnvironmentVariablesSection
     #
     #
     #Environment Variables
     cellName=myCell04
     

  2. Run applyConfigProperties to change a cache provider configuration.

     Run applyConfigProperties 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'])
     

• If you no longer need the cache provider or an existing custom property, you can delete the entire cache provider object or the custom property.

  • To delete the entire object, specify DELETE=true in the header section of the properties file and run deleteConfigProperties; for example:

    AdminTask.deleteConfigProperties('[-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt]')
    

  • To delete a custom property, specify only the property to be deleted in the properties file and then run deleteConfigProperties.

Results

We can use the properties file to configure and manage the cache provider object and its properties.

What to do next

Save the changes to the configuration.
Extract properties files using wsadmin.sh
Validate properties files using wsadmin.sh
Create server, cluster, application, or authorization group objects using properties files and wsadmin scripting
Delete server, cluster, application, or authorization group objects using properties files
Create, modifying, and deleting configuration objects using one properties file
