Process definition settings

Use this page to view or change settings for a process definition. For WebSphere Application Server, this page provides command-line information for starting or initializing a process. For WebSphere Application Server for z/OS, this page provides command-line information for starting, initializing, or stopping a process.

To view this administrative console page, click Servers > Application Servers > server_name > Process Definition.

Configuration tab

Executable Name  
Specifies the executable name that is invoked to start the process.
Data type String
Executable Arguments  
Specifies the arguments that are passed to the executable when starting the process.

For example, the executable target program might expect three arguments: arg1 arg2 arg3.

Data type String
Units Java command-line arguments
Working Directory
For distributed platforms, specifies the file system directory that the process uses as its current working directory.

Note: z/OS users should not use the Working Directory setting on the administrative console. On z/OS, the working directory is always the UNIX System Services directory that is defined via the OMVS setting of the RACF user profile for the user that starts the servant. For z/OS, this cannot be changed via the administrative console. Therefore, to provide compatibility between the applications on a z/OS system and a distributed system, set the UNIX System Services directory to the same value that was supplied for the Working Directory option on the distributed system.

The process uses this directory to determine the locations of input and output files with relative path names.

Data type String
Executable Target Type

Specifies whether a Java classname or the name of an executable JAR file is used as the executable target of this Java process.

Executable Target

Specifies the Java class or JAR file to use as the main entry point for the Java server process. Make sure that you select a target that matches the type selected in the Executable Target Type field.
