Configuring write frequency

In the session management facility, you can configure the frequency for writing session data to the database or to a WebSphere instance, depending on whether you use database distributed sessions or memory-to-memory replication. You can write session data using the end of service servlet, manual update or time based update options.

About this task

This flexibility enables you to weigh session performance gains against varying degrees of failover support. The following options are available in the Session Management facility for tuning write frequency:

When a session is first created, session information is always written at the end of the service call.

Using the time based write or manual update options can result in loss of data in failover scenarios since the backup copy of the session in the persistent store (for example, a database or another JVM) may not be in sync with the session in the session cache.

Procedure

  1. Go to the appropriate level of Session Management.
  2. Click Distributed environment settings
  3. Click Custom tuning parameters.
  4. Click Custom settings.
  5. Select the method of write frequency that you want to use.
  6. Click OK.
