WebSphere® Application Server allows you to configure a number of custom properties for transaction services.
Transaction service custom properties can be specified in the administrative console. To use any of these custom properties click on
.If the before completion stage of a transaction process is likely to include processes that could either take a long time to complete or could fail, then you might want the transaction to time out.
By default, transaction timeout alarms are cancelled prior to the before completion phase of the transaction begins. The DELAY_CANCELLING_ALARMS custom property allows the before completion phase of the transaction to be encompassed within the transaction timeout period. To do this, set the custom property on the application server.
Data type | Boolean |
Acceptable values | TRUE, FALSE |
Default | FALSE |
You can control whether information messages are displayed on the administrative console and written to the SystemOut.log file upon transaction service recovery. To do this, set the DISABLE_RECOVERY_AUDIT_LOGGING custom property for the transaction service for the server.
On distributed platforms the default is for information messages to appear both on the administrative console and in the SystemOut.log file during the recovery of transaction services. If you do not want these messages to be displayed you can use the DISABLE_RECOVERY_AUDIT_LOGGING custom property.
Data type | Boolean |
Acceptable values | TRUE, FALSE |
Default | FALSE |
You can remove entries from the transaction partner log file. To do this, set the REMOVE_PARTNER_LOG_ENTRY custom property for the transaction service on the server that owns the partner log.
As part of the transaction recovery process, the partner log is checked to establish which resources are needed. If you want to remove certain entries from the partner log, such as a resource that no longer exists, set this custom property on the application server that owns the transaction partner log containing the entries you want to remove.
The REMOVE_PARTNER_LOG_ENTRY custom property is effective only when both of the following situations apply.
Data type | Integer |
Acceptable values | (one or more comma-delimited integer recovery ID) |
Default | (null) |
