You can use properties files to modify or delete Java virtual machine (JVM) properties
of Web servers.
Before you begin
Determine the changes that you want to make to your JVM
properties configuration or its configuration objects.
Start
the wsadmin scripting tool. To start wsadmin using the Jython language,
run the wsadmin -lang Jython command from the bin directory
of the server profile.
About this task
Using a properties file, you can modify or delete a JVM
object.
Run administrative commands using wsadmin to change
a properties file for a JVM, validate the properties, and apply them
to your configuration.
Table 1. Actions for JVM properties files. You can modify
or delete JVM objects.

modify |
Edit properties and then run the applyConfigProperties
command to modify the value of a custom property. |
delete |
Specify the properties to delete in the properties
file and then run the deleteConfigProperties command to delete a property.
If the deleted property has a default value, the property is set to
the default value. |

Optionally, you can use interactive mode with the commands:
AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')
Procedure
- Modify existing Web server JVM properties.
- Obtain a properties file for the JVM that you want to
change.
You can extract a JavaVirtualMachine properties
file using the extractConfigProperties command.
- Open the properties file in an editor and change the
custom properties as needed.
Open an editor and specify
JVM custom properties in a properties file. You can copy the following
example properties into an editor and modify the properties as needed
for your situation. To specify a custom property, edit the AttributeInfo value
and properties values. Ensure that the environment variables in the
properties file match your system.

- Run the applyConfigProperties command to change a JVM
properties configuration.
Running the applyConfigProperties
command applies the properties file to the configuration. In this
Jython example, the optional -reportFileName parameter
produces a report named report.txt:
AdminTask.applyConfigProperties(['-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt'])
- Delete Web server JVM properties.
To delete
one or more properties, specify only those properties to delete in
the properties file and run deleteConfigProperties.
AdminTask.deleteConfigProperties('[-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt]')
Results
You can use the properties file to configure and manage
the JVM object and its properties.
What to do next
Save the changes to your configuration.
