Working with data replication properties files

You can use properties files to create, modify, or delete data replication properties and custom properties.

Before you begin

Determine the changes that you want to make to your data replication 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 create, modify, or delete a data replication object. You can also create, modify, or delete data replication custom properties.

Run administrative commands using wsadmin to create or change a properties file for a data replication, validate the properties, and apply them to your configuration.

Table 1. Actions for data replication properties files. You can create, modify, and delete data replication properties.
Action Procedure
create Set required properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command.
modify Edit properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command to modify the value of a custom property.
delete Run the deleteConfigProperties command to delete a property. If the deleted property has a default value, the property is set to the default value. To delete the entire DataReplication object, uncomment #DELETE=true and then run the deleteConfigProperties command.
create Property Not applicable
delete Property Not applicable

Optionally, you can use interactive mode with the commands:

AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')

Procedure

  1. Create a data replication properties file.
    1. Set DataReplication properties as needed.

      Open an editor on a DataReplication properties file. Modify the Environment Variables section to match your system and set any property value that needs to be changed. An example DataReplication properties file follows:

      #
      # Header
      #
      ResourceType=DataReplication
      ImplementingResourceType=DataReplicationDomain
      ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:DataReplicationDomain=myDRDomain:DataReplication=messageBrokerName#myMessageBroker
      AttributeInfo=defaultDataReplicationSettings
      #DELETE=true
      #
      
      #
      #Properties
      #
      password=null
      userId=null
      requestTimeout=5 #integer,default(5)
      encryptionKeyValue=null
      useSSL=false #boolean,default(false)
      numberOfReplicas=1 #integer,default(1)
      messageBrokerName=myMessageBroker
      encryptionType=NONE #ENUM(DES|TRIPLE_DES|NONE),default(NONE)
      #
      EnvironmentVariablesSection
      #
      #
      #Environment Variables
      cellName=myCell04
    2. Run the applyConfigProperties command to create or change a data replication 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 '])
  2. Modify an existing properties file.
    1. Obtain a properties file for the data replication object that you want to change.

      You can extract a properties file for a DataReplication object using the extractConfigProperties command.

    2. Open the properties file in an editor and change the properties as needed.

      Ensure that the environment variables in the properties file match your system.

    3. Run the applyConfigProperties command.
  3. If you no longer need the data replication or an existing custom property, you can delete the entire data replication object or the custom property.
    • To delete the entire object, specify DELETE=true in the header section of the properties file and run the deleteConfigProperties command; for example:
      AdminTask.deleteConfigProperties('[-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt]') 
    • To delete a custom property, specify only the property to be deleted in the properties file and then run the deleteConfigProperties command.

Results

You can use the properties file to configure and manage the data replication object and its properties.

What to do next

Save the changes to your configuration.
