Administering custom advisors for the proxy server

You can administer custom advisors for the proxy server. Custom advisors allow for more specific determination of target application server availability by sending protocol level requests to back-end servers. Custom advisors are unique based on the combination of the business-level application ID and the composition unit ID.

Procedure

  1. From the administrative console, select Servers > Server Types > WebSphere proxy servers > proxy_server_name > Custom advisor policies.
  2. Click the name of a custom advisor to change settings.
  3. Specify the business level application ID.
  4. Specify the composition unit ID.
  5. Specify the poll interval using seconds in the Poll interval field.
  6. Specify the connection timeout using seconds in the Connect timeout field.
  7. Specify the input/output timeout using seconds in the I/O timeout field.
  8. Optional: Select Enable logging if you want to use logging for this custom advisor. If you enable logging, then follow these steps:
    1. Select Enable log file wrapping if you want wrapping turned on.
    2. Specify the maximum size of the log file using megabytes in the Log file size field.
  9. Create mappings to be used by your custom advisor using one of the following sub-steps:
    1. Configuring stand-alone application server mappings
    2. Configuring application server cluster mappings
    3. Configuring generic server cluster mappings
  10. Optional: Click Delete to remove a selected mapping from the collection.
