Transitioning notes for administration topics

When we upgrade the application server to a newer version, be aware of the following settings that we might want to change.

• Configure transaction properties for an application server

  In v8.5.5, the way to resize transaction log files and enable MMAP functions changed. v9.0 uses the changes introduced in v8.5.5.

• APCconfig.jacl script

  The WebSphere Virtual Enterprise command that equates to APCconfig.jacl is xd_APCconfig.jacl. If we are making the transition from WebSphere Virtual Enterprise, we can continue to use the xd_APCconfig.jacl command, which operates the same as the APCconfig.jacl command.

• PlacementControllerProcs.jacl script

  The WebSphere Virtual Enterprise command that equates to APCconfig.jacl is xd_APCconfig.jacl. If we are making the transition from WebSphere Virtual Enterprise, we can continue to use the xd_APCconfig.jacl command, which operates the same as the APCconfig.jacl command.

• Intelligent Management: hadmgrAdd command

  The Intelligent Management command that equates to hadmgrAdd is xd_hadmgrAdd. If we are making the transition from WebSphere Virtual Enterprise, we can continue to use the xd_hadmgrAdd command, which operates the same as the hadmgrAdd command.

• Intelligent Management: hadmgrRemove command

  The Intelligent Management command that equates to hadmgrRemove is xd_hadmgrRemove. If we are making the transition from WebSphere Virtual Enterprise, we can continue to use the xd_hadmgrRemove command, which operates the same as the hadmgrRemove command.

• manageODC.py script

  The WebSphere Virtual Enterprise command that equates to manageODC.py is ve_manageODC.py. If we are making the transition from WebSphere Virtual Enterprise, we can continue to use the ve_manageODC.py command, which operates the same as the manageODC.py command.

• workclassoperations.py script

  The WebSphere Virtual Enterprise command that equates to IMPPYModules.py is XDPYModules.py. If we are making the transition from WebSphere Virtual Enterprise, we can continue to use the XDPYModules.py command, which operates the same as the IMPPYModules.py command.

• dumpIMPState.py script

  The WebSphere Virtual Enterprise command that equates to dumpIMPState.py is dumpXdState.py. If we are making the transition from WebSphere Virtual Enterprise, we can continue to use the dumpXdState.py command, which operates the same as the dumpIMPState.py command.

• useBBSON.py script

  The Intelligent Management command that equates to useBBSON.py is useWVEBB.py. If we are making the transition from WebSphere Virtual Enterprise, we can continue to use the useWVEBB.py command, which operates the same as the useBBSON.py command.

• Dynamic operations

  In WebSphere Virtual Enterprise, controllers start automatically as highly available managed items unless explicitly suppressed. In Intelligent Management, controllers are dormant until they detect that they are needed. When the controllers are needed, they become active. When the controllers detect that they are no longer needed, they become dormant again. Controllers that are disabled or are in manual mode do not use this detection capability.

• BBSON bulletin board

  The WebSphere Virtual Enterprise command that equates to manageBBSON.py is manageWVEBB.py. If we are making the transition from WebSphere Virtual Enterprise, we can continue to use the manageWVEBB.py command, which operates the same as the manageBBSON.py command.

• manageBBSON.py script

  The WebSphere Virtual Enterprise command that equates to manageBBSON.py is manageWVEBB.py. If we are making the transition from WebSphere Virtual Enterprise, we can continue to use the manageWVEBB.py command, which operates the same as the manageBBSON.py command.
