Work with transaction service properties files
We can use properties files to change transaction service properties under a server.
Determine the changes to make to your transaction service configuration.
Start wsadmin.sh.
To start wsadmin using the Jython language, run the wsadmin -lang jython command from the bin directory of the server profile.
Use a properties file, you can create, modify, or delete transaction service configuration properties.
Run administrative commands using wsadmin to change a properties file for a transaction service, validate the properties, and apply them to the configuration.
Actions for transaction service properties files. We can create, modify, and delete transaction service properties.
Action Procedure create Not available modify Edit properties and then run applyConfigProperties. delete Not available create Property Set properties and then run applyConfigProperties. delete Property Specify the properties to delete in the properties file and then run deleteConfigProperties. Optionally, you can use interactive mode with the commands:
AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')
Procedure
- Create transaction service properties.
- Specify TransationService properties in a properties file.
Open an editor and specify transaction service properties under a server in a properties file. We can copy the following example properties into an editor and modify the properties as needed for your situation. The example shows a property under TransationService with name myName and value myVal.

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 existing transaction service properties.
- Obtain a properties file for the transaction service to change.
We can extract a properties file for a TransationService using the extractConfigProperties command.
- 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.
- Run applyConfigProperties.
- Delete the transaction service 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 configure and manage the transaction service object.
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
