You can use properties files to modify or delete process
definition properties of web servers.
Before you begin
Determine the changes that you want to make to your process
definition 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 process
definition object.
Run administrative commands using wsadmin
to change a properties file for a process definition, validate the
properties, and apply them to your configuration.
Table 1. Actions for process definition properties
files. You can modify or delete process definition objects.

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 process definition properties.
- Obtain a properties file for the web server JavaProcessDef
that you want to change.
You can extract a JavaProcessDef
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
JavaProcessDef 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 process
definition 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 process definition 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 process definition object and its properties.
What to do next
Save the changes to your configuration.
