Working with server configuration files

Why and when to perform this task

Application server configuration files define the available application servers, their configurations, and their contents.

You should periodically save changes to your administrative configuration. You can change the default locations of configuration files, as needed.

Steps for this task

  1. Edit configuration files. The master repository is comprised of .xml configuration files. You can edit configuration files using the administrative console, scripting, wsadmin commands, programming, or by editing a configuration file directly.The configuration files are in ASCII format. You cannot edit them in the Hierarchical File System (HFS). Instead, transfer the files to your workstation, edit them, and then transfer them back to the HFS.
  2. Save changes made to configuration files. Using the console, you can save changes as follows:
    1. Click Save on the taskbar of the administrative console.
    2. Put a checkmark in the Synchronize changes with Nodes check box.
    3. On the Save page, click Save.
  3. Handle temporary configuration files resulting from a session timing out.
  4. Change the location of temporary configuration files.
  5. Change the location of backed-up configuration files.
  6. Change the location of temporary workspace files.
  7. Back up and restore configurations.
