Configuration data for the WebSphere Application Server product
resides in files. Two services help you reconfigure and otherwise manage these
files: the file transfer service and file synchronization service.
About this task
By default, the file transfer service is always configured and enabled
at a node agent, so you do not need to take additional steps to configure
this service. However, you might need to configure the file synchronization
service.
Procedure
- Go to the File
Synchronization Service page. Click System Administration > Node
Agents in the console navigation tree. Then, click the node agent for
which you want to configure a synchronization server and click File Synchronization
Service.
- On the File Synchronization Service page, customize the service
that helps make configuration data consistent across a cell by moving updated
configuration files from the deployment manager to the node. Change
the values for properties
on the File Synchronization Service page. The file synchronization
service is always started, but you can control how it runs by changing the
values.
- Optionally add a custom property for file synchronization.
- Click Custom properties on the File Synchronization Service
page.
- Click New.
- Specify a name and value for the custom property.
The com.ibm.websphere.management.application.expand.wto
custom property:
![[z/OS]](../../ngzos.gif)
Specify this custom property with
a value of
true if you want to display Enterprise Archive
(EAR) file expansion errors on the z/OS operating system console. When the
errors display, the operator can take appropriate corrective action for the
failure.
