Process execution settings

Use this page to view or change the process execution settings for a server process.

A server process applies to either an application server, a node agent or a deployment manager.

For the distributed and i5/OS platforms, to view this administrative console page for an application server, click Servers > Application Servers > server_name. Then, under Server Infrastructure, click Java and Process Management, select either servant, control or adjunct, and then click Process Execution.

To view this administrative console page for a node agent, click System Administration > Node agents >node_agent_name. Then, under Server Infrastructure , click Java and Process Management > Process Definition > Process Execution.

To view this administrative console page for a deployment manager, click System Administration > Deployment manager. Then, under Server Infrastructure, click Java and Process Management > Process Definition > Process Execution.

Configuration tab

Process Priority

Specifies the operating system priority for the process. The administrative process that launches the server must have root operating system authority in order to honor this setting.

Data type Integer
Default 20 for WebSphere Application Server on all operating systems.
UMASK

Specifies the user mask under which the process runs (the file-mode permission mask).

The deployment manager and application servers must run with a 007 umask in order to support system management functions. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not change the default value of this setting for the deployment manager or the controller.

If the process is running in a servant, you can either specify a different user mask setting in this field or use the _EDC_UMASK_DFLT environment variable in the JCL procedure for the servant to change this setting.

Data type Integer
Default 007
Run As User

Specifies the user that the process runs as. This user ID must be defined to the security system.

Data type String
Run As Group

Specifies the group that the process is a member of and runs as.

Data type String
Run In Process Group

Specifies a specific process group for the process. A process group is a mechanism that the operating system uses to logically associate multiple processes and operate on them as a single unit. Usually, the operating system uses this mechanism for signal distribution.

Specific operating systems might allow other operations to be performed on a process group. Refer to your operating system documentation for more information on the operations that can be performed on a process group.

[Windows] On i5/OS, and Windows operating systems, the Run In Process Group setting is ignored.

Data type Integer
Default 0, which indicates that the process is not assigned to a specific process group.
