- Application Server Name
- Specifies a name for the application server. The name must unique within the node
(physical machine) containing the application server.
- Command line arguments
- Specifies the command line arguments to pass to the Java virtual machine (JVM)
that starts the application server process.
You can find the most updated information about the command line arguments by typing
java
at a command prompt. In case that is not convenient, check this
summary list of the arguments.
You might also add a ServiceInitializer parameter
or set the server socket queue depth using
com.ibm.CORBA.ServerSocketQueueDepth, as described in the administrative server
properties.
- Current state
- Indicates the state the application server is currently in. The next time it
is started, it will try to change to its desired state setting.
- Debug enabled
- Specifies whether the server is running in debugging mode.
When the property is set, the application server will start with the
java_g -debug argument, which
is necessary to allow the Distributed Debugger, or
any Java debugger, to attach to the application server.
Selecting this setting is necessary, but not sufficient, for using the Debugger to
debug code running on this application server. You must also select the
"Object Level Trace enabled" setting and perform some other steps. See
the full InfoCenter for more information.
- Desired state
- Indicates the state the application server should have the next time
it is started.
- Environment
- Specifies environment variables, and their values,
to be used by the application server.
To set
variables, click the Environment field to display a dialog box.
In the box, enter variable names and values, clicking the Add button
after each one.
The value of this property is a list of strings of the
form "name=value"
- EPM Specification
-
- Executable in use
- Indicates the executable (Java class) representing the application
server.
- Group ID
- Specifies the name of the operating system group under which to run the server.
Note that the operating system group must exist on the machine where the server
is to run before the server is started. This group must be assigned the necessary
operating system privileges for performing operations such as creating output
files on the local file system. Additional information
specific to operating system
- Group ID in use
- Indicates the group ID now in use by the server.
Additional information
specific to operating system
- Maximum startup attempts
- Specifies the number of times to try to start the server before
discontinuing attempts.
- Legal Values: Any positive integer
- Name
- Indicates a name for the application server. The name must unique within the node
(physical machine) containing the application server.
- Node
- Indicates the administrative node on which the application server resides.
- Object Level Tracing enabled
- Specifies whether Object Level Trace (OLT) and the Distributed Debugger
are enabled.
If this option is deselected, this server will not send any trace or debug
information to the OLT and the Debugger client interfaces.
Selecting this setting is necessary, but not sufficient, for using OLT/the Debugger to
trace or debug code running on this application server.
- Parent
- Specifies the node on which the application server will reside. Though it
is not indicated as such, this property is required.
- Ping initial timeout
- Specifies the maximum time in seconds after the server starts before
a successful ping must occur. After this time elapses, the administrative
server attempts to restart the server.
- Ping interval
- Specifies the frequency of communication attempts between the server and the
administrative server to ensure that the server is running.
Adjust this value based on your requirements for restarting failed servers.
Decreasing the value
detects failures sooner; increasing the value reduces the frequency of pings
and thus reduces system overhead.
- Ping timeout
- Specifies the maximum amount of time in seconds that can elapse after the last
successful ping before the administrative server assumes the server has failed.
Adjust this value based on your requirements for restarting failed servers.
Decreasing the value shortens the length of time that a server can be down before
any attempt to restart it.
- Process ID
- Indicates the operating system process ID of the server.
- Process priority
- Specifies the operating system process priority under which to run
the server. The lower the number, the greater the importance
of the process. Additional information specific to
operating system
- Legal Values: Any positive integer
- Process priority in use
- Indicates the current process priority of the server.
Additional information specific to
operating system
- Security enabled
- Specifies whether to enable WebSphere Application Server security for the application server.
- Security enabled in use
- Specifies whether WebSphere Application Server security is currently enabled for the application server.
- Standard error
- Specifies the standard error stream for the operating system.
If the value of this property is set to the null string (""),
the stream is set to the null device.
If this property is set to a relative path name, the path is
relative to the server's working directory. Any class of trace output can be
redirected to this file. By default, the output of the fatal, error, and audit
trace classes is sent to this file.
Additional information specific to operating system
- Default: The file stderr.txt in the server's working directory
- Standard error in use
- Indicates the standard error stream now in use by the server.
Additional information specific to operating system
- Standard input
- Specifies the standard input stream for the operating system.
If this property is set to the null string (""), the stream is
set to the null device.
If this property is set to a relative path name, the path is
relative to the server's working directory.
Additional information specific to operating system
- Standard input in use
- Indicates the standard input stream now in use by the server.
Additional information specific to operating system
- Standard output
- Specifies the standard output stream for the operating system.
If this property is set
to the null string (""), the stream is set to the null device.
If this property is set to a relative path name, the path is
relative to the server's working directory.
Additional information specific to operating system
- Default: The file stdout.txt in the server's working directory.
- Standard output in use
- Indicates the standard output stream now in use by the server.
Additional information specific to operating system
- Start Time
- Indicates the time at which the server was most recently started.
- State
- Indicates the state the application server is currently in.
- Thread Pool Size
- Specifies the starting size of the thread pool for the application server.
Each application server has its own
thread pool or cache from which it uses threads to
process remote method invocations.
The size of a server's thread pool varies
throughout the server's lifetime. Threads are
created when needed and destroyed when there
are too many idle threads.
- Trace specification
- Specifies the initial trace mask value to use for the server.
A trace mask defines which components are to be traced and allows you
control how much trace information is generated.
The format of this property (and tracing in general) is described in the
trace properties help.
- Trace specification in use
- Indicates the trace specification now in use by the application server.
- Trace output file
- Specifies the file to which to write tracing information.
- Trace output file in use
- Indicates the trace output file currently in use.
- Transaction inactivity timeout
- Specifies the number of milliseconds a transaction can remain inactive before it is aborted.
- Transaction timeout
- Specifies the number of seconds to allow a transaction to proceed before aborting it because it is
taking too much time.
- Umask
- Specifies an octal value that sets the operating system's file creation mask
for the server.
The file creation mask specifies permissions that cannot initially be
granted for new files. When a new file is created, the system refuses to grant
the permissions specified in the file creation mask.
For example, a mask of 022 prevents the granting of the write permission to
members of the group that own the file and to all other users who
do not own the file.
A mask of 022 allows the owner to be granted all permissions; in other
words, it leaves the owner's permissions the way the system specifies them.
If the system would otherwise create a file with privilege values of 777
(read, write, and execute permissions
for owner, group, and other), a file creation mask of 022 causes it to create
the file with 755 (all permissions for the owner, but only read and execute
permissions for group and other).
- Legal Values: An integer in the octal range 0 through 0777
- Umask in use
- Indicates the mask now in use by the server.
- User ID
- Specifies the name of the operating system user under which to run the
server.
Note that the operating
system user must exist on the machine where the server is to run before the
server is
started. This user must be assigned the necessary operating system privileges for
performing operations such as creating output files on the local file system.
- Legal Values: A string of 8 or fewer characters
- Default: The ID used by the administrative server
- User ID in use
- The user ID now in use by the server.
- Working directory
- Specifies the local directory in which to run the server.
This directory is used to
determine the locations of input and output files with relative path names.
After you
start a server, it is recommended that you do not change the server's
working directory.
