Work with timer manager provider properties files

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

Determine the changes to make to your timer manager 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 timer manager provider object. We can also create, modify, or delete timer manager provider custom properties.

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

Actions for timer manager provider properties files. We can create, modify, and delete timer manager 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 TimerManagerProvider 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 a timer manager provider properties file.

  1. Set TimerManagerProvider properties as needed.

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

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

  2. Run applyConfigProperties to create or change a timer manager 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'])
     

• Modify an existing properties file.
  1. Obtain a properties file for the timer manager provider to change.

     We can extract a properties file for a TimerManagerProvider object using the extractConfigProperties command.

  2. Open the properties file in an editor and change the properties as needed.

     Ensure that the environment variables in the properties file match the system.

  3. Run applyConfigProperties.

• If you no longer need the timer manager provider or an existing custom property, you can delete the entire timer manager 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 timer manager provider object and its properties.

What to do next

Save the changes to the configuration.
Extract 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
